I have been to Girasole numerous times although this is my first review of the place. My most recent visit was on a Saturday night and we did think ahead and make reservations. This definitely helped limit our wait time for a table. On this particularly beautiful Saturday night Girasole was packed. My party of 4 were seated at an outdoor table. The ladies brought a bottle of their favorite vino and were charged a small per person corking fee. My friend and I enjoy all types and styles of beer and weren't sure what to have when the waiter recommended and Italian import call Baladin. This was truly a tasty beer but we both felt like we had been scammed. It was a $28 bottle of beer. I have had some expensive and tasty beers but never for $28. I wish the server would have said that it was a $28 bottle since it was not listed on their menu. The ladies both had pumpkin ravioli which I tried and it was exceptional. I ordered the polenta entree which was like butter in my mouth. Although I did discover a glass shard in the polenta when I was eating it. I brought this to the attention of the Host immediately. They promptly made me a new dish of polenta and didn't charge me for the dish. They were also very apologetic. I would normally give this restaurant a 4 star rating due to the high quality of the food and normally great service. I was just disappointed with the human factors of this dining experience. I would recommend this place to just about anyone especially for lunch. Hopefully my next visit I won't feel like such a sucker...$28 BOTTLE OF BEER!
