Ambiance: more of a party party group Italian place than a quiet romantic dinner for 2 or family outing type of place. The back room has tall bushes carved into the silhouettes of busty ladies. What do I say when little Johnny asks, "Mommy, why are those trees shaped like girls with big boobs?"
Food: portions are big (again, better for groups!) The meatballs are half a pound each and the spaghetti dish could have fed a family of 4. The food has good flavor though, especially the balsamic glaze on the filet mignon. The house spaghetti with seafood is delicious, but beware that it is a bit spicy so if you have people who can't eat spicy at all, you might want to ask them to tone it down a bit.
Service: a little on the slow side, especially on busy nights. We saw a waiter rushing to bring a table some shrimp scampi who was leaking buttery garlic sauce all over the floor and on the backs of a few couches near the bar. Hope no one slipped on that. Lastly, be prepared to wait after dinner to take the elevator back down if it's past 11pm as patrons are being shuttled up to the club. We waited for 12 minutes exactly and I had to ask the hostess twice if she was sure the elevators were working.
