Went here last night for an anniversary dinner and were very disappointed with what we got for the price. We arrived at 6pm and were promptly seated and the service was top notch if not a bit overboard (my water never got more than 1/2 full and as soon as i put my fork down they were there to clear my plate) to begin with, it slowed as the evening progressed.
The bread with bruchetta was very good. The dinner rolls were hot from the oven and very chewy; and the bruchetta was very garlicky which I love and the EVOO was good quality.
We split a gorgonzola and pear salad which was very good and possibly the highlight of the meal.
I am only giving two stars because the salad was the last place the food and the service were exceptional. The restaurant started to fill up and our waiter, Jose, all but disappeared, in fact we had to ask the buser, Mirabel to find him several times.
We split the Artichoke Franchese which was bland and soggy, such a disappointment since I love artichokes. The breading on the artichokes just tasted like bad breading at a dive bar with zero seasonings and there is no sauce included to drown the taste.
I ordered the Veal Limone which I had read was quite good. It is served with string beans and a side of pasta. The veal itself was cooked perfectly but it is drowning in a heavy butter sauce. The beans had no seasoning and were over cooked. I am not a fan of red sauce to begin with but the pasta was drenched in what tasted like a canned tomato sauce.
My boyfriend ordered the rib eye topped with mushrooms which was cooked perfectly and he did enjoy it. Unfortunately he too had the same complaint as me in regards to the beans and pasta.
When it came time to pay there was no one to be found, not even our overly attentive buser. When the buser finally got our waiter he brought us the wrong bill (which he blamed the buser for) and then we had to flag our buser down to get the issue fixed.
