| - This is a great experience holistically. Have your car valeted. It's only $4. Very affordable. The elevator up to the Grotto gives you a great view of the city. When you make your reservations, you need to ask for "view seating" but outside of that, getting a reservation is seamless. You can reserve online through their website.
I went with a mentor/colleague to "celebrate" a job termination (don't ask) and we had the whole experience. Our waitress was very nice and tentative. One of the managers, who is a wine afficianto, helped us pick out a good wine on the moderately priced side. The wine was fantastic.
We ordered steamed clams as an appetizer and -oh so good- with their hot bread to dip in the sauce. The manager learned I lost my job and brought us a "chocolate cake" drink, on the house, which was very nice.
House salads were fresh and a nice size portyion. I ordered the mahi mahi and it was fantastic. Nice size portion, fresh. Only complaint was that the lemon wedge was too small to put over the fish...
Finally, the dessert... I had the white chocolate macadamia mousse. To. die. for.
Certainly the restaurant is pricey, but the food quality was good, the atmosphere is nice, and the staff are very friendly. This is a good special occasion restaurant.
