| - Came here on a groupon deal - 4 appetizers, 4 entrees, 4 desserts and 1L of wine. I had rounded up a group of 5 to enjoy this Groupon together, only to be told when I called in to make a reservation that only 4 people could use the Groupon. One friend gracefully backed out after I informed the group, but it's unfortunate because this amount of food is definitely enough for a group of 5 to enjoy. And this was confirmed after we left our meal each being super full, and wine unfinished. This was all quite upsetting because the restriction wasn't specified on the groupon (i.e. it could have simply stated "max 4 per table"). And to top it all off, the restaurant was far from full on the night we went - so we wondered why we weren't allowed to have 5 people enjoy the food together (as the 5th person wouldn't be taking up a spot of another paying customer).
As for the food, it was well done and the portions were large. For app, ordered the Spinach salad (had sundried tomatoes and roasted garlic cloves), mussels, calamari (on arugula) and eggplant parm. Everything was great - mussels stood out the least. For mains, ordered the tuna on nachos (tuna was good, nachos were overcooked), pescatore (seafood pasta), lamb gnocchi, and risotto. They were all nicely presented and well cooked. I wasn't wowed by any of these dishes though. In the whole 3 course meal, I actually enjoyed the mains the least. For dessert, we had carrot cake, tiramisu, pistachio chocolate crunch, and donuts. Donuts came out fresh and hot which was awesome, but they didn't have enough filling. The pistachio chocolate crunch was incredible - I've never tasted any dessert like it. Made the meal worth it. The rest of the desserts we tried were forgettable.
