I have to say I really don't understand the hype about this restaurant. I'll rate the food as 4 stars, but unfortunately the service brought it down to 3 stars.
I tried to make a reservation the day before our outing and no one ever picked up the phone. I believe I called about 5 times over the duration of an hour. Please tell me what is the point of having a phone if no one will be there to answer it. If the bad ended right here, I would still rate the restaurant as 4 stars, unfortunately it got worst.
After my partner and I were seated, the server practically neglected us for 10 minutes. She never came around to ask for our drink order AND she didn't introduce the specials. It was our first time at the restaurant, so we didn't know the specials were written on the chalk board that is out of our line of sight until the couples beside us talked about it. In the end, we just decided to flag down another server to take our orders. (Our server was chatting up a storm with someone sitting at the bar, she didn't even realize we already had our appetizers when she finally decided to come take our order)
Food was very innovative. We shared a warm salad and the polenta fries. For the main course, the braised beef ravioli was amazing and the special scallops had a unique flavor.
Overall, food was good, service is below average. Not sure if we will visit again.
