| - The ambiance of this place is quite stunning. High ceilings, modern decor, and the lighting have the place looking as if it's ready to turn into a high-end nightclub at the end of service. It's surprising that such a beautiful restaurant is attached to the local mall.
While the restaurant is admittedly beautiful, and while the prices are very affordable (and it's BYOW), the quality of the food is consistently sub-par. I've been to this restaurant 4 times now (lured by the ambiance and prices), and I've been disappointed every time.
On my first visit, the steak was chewy and the side vegetables were sparse and over-done (soft). On my second visit, the pasta was just average. On my third, the appetizers were just passable. Finally, on my last visit during a dinner service, the veal was over-cooked and the sauce was simply horrendous. The sauce was a gelatinous yellow mess that looked the opposite of appetizing. I left more than half my plate full, perhaps for the first time in my life. If it wasn't for the bread rolls, I would have still been hungry and I would have been a very cranky date, indeed!
In short, if you're a student on a budget and would like to take someone out on a date (who IS NOT a picky eater), and you're in the area, I guess this is an okay place to be. Otherwise, if you're looking for a romantic and tasty night out, I recommend going elsewhere.
