Best part of being in Splendido is being in Splendido.
Smart looking room + excellent service/way too knowledgeable wait-staff + plus good but not the greatest food = a pretty good time.
Sure, it's pricey- but if you've got a special occasion or want a night out- you could do a lot worse.
Didn't see anyone in there- but the private dining space in the basement is beautiful - giant table, seating for 24, and surrounded by the wine cellar. Definitely a place where some big decisions go down.
Tried the 22oz boneless rib-eye Angus steak for 2.... it was VERY good. I would describe its tenderness having been akin to warm butter.
