| - 2 of us for dinner on a recent Thursday night. First time here. Arrived around 6:30, the place was packed, we waited about 10 minutes for a table. Would have waited at the bar but there was no space available there. So we stood by the door....too cool to wait outdoors.
Interesting environment, cool lighting. This place is loud and tables are very close to each other. It's cozy but if you want to have a quiet evening with intimate conversation, go somewhere else. Good service overall.
Took a look at the HH menu that runs until 7pm. No big savings from what I could see, a few bucks off here and there. A very smooth Malbec for $6. Skipped the appetizers and went right to the real food. We ordered homemade ravioli off the evening specials menu and chicken saltimbocca off the regular menu. The ravioli was surprisingly good, covered by a light cream sauce. Saltimbooca didn't get it for me, it was more like SALTimbocca. The sauce was way too salty and didn't have much flavor. Came over sauted spinach which was very good, and a side of linguini covered with SALTimbocca sauce. We ended the meal with a delightful slice of lemon cheesecake. Nice way to counteract the SALT from dinner.
Bill came to $45 - soda, 1 glass wine, 2 entrees & dessert.
All told, I liked this place - think I just made a bad entree decision. Will give it another try with another dish next time.
