I hate having to write 1-Star reviews, but after eating here last night I am seriously wondering if ill ever be able to trust a yelp review again. I'm not sure who these other people are that reviewed this place and if these accounts are even real but there is NO WAY this place could ever get a 5-Star review.
Anyway, I decided to take my girlfriend here after reading all the reviews on here. When we arrived there was only one other table with people on the place and I knew this was a bad sign and even considered leaving, but decided to trust the yelp community.
Upon entering we were greeted by the chef/waiter who was very nice. We decided to order the calamari and mussels to start and both had the gnocchi. We both had a glass of wine to start, and my girlfriends had a bug in it so she had to wait for the server to cook something in the kitchen before she could get a new glass (which the server happily exchanged). The server started us with some bruschetta on the house which was fine then we got our apps.
The seafood in both dishes was DEFINITELY not fresh and very tough. The calamari was some of the toughest I've ever had and my gf couldn't even finish it. My clams and mussels were also quite tough and did not look like they had been purchased that day. They were actually pretty gross but I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt still (possibly in denial from the reviews on here).
Next the gnocchi was extremely oily. Again my gf couldn't eat it but I managed to get through it. The mushrooms in it were pretty awful and tasted like something you'd get in Chinatown. In fact, much of the meal tasted like they were using subpar ingredients from Chinatown.
The server brought us the bill and gave us a free dessert which we both didn't like. In total our bill came to $88 and I was embarrassed to have paid as much as I did for the food.
We both felt kinda sick after and I don't think anyone should be subjected to eating here again.
I hate to do 1-star as the server definitely seemed to be trying his best and was very nice but the food is gross and there are WAY BETTER places to eat in this city.
