| - I was so excited to try this place so when we got in and sat down and saw all the wonderful menu options, I was ecstatic. After that however, things kind of fell flat unfortunately.
They start you with bread and olive oil. Bread, nothing special, not a whole lotta flavor, but the olive oil was good.
For an appetizer, we started with the cheese plate. I thought it odd that I could not pick my cheese, but the waiter just asked "Is there any cheese you do not like?" and I said no. All the cheeses he brought were decent, the best was the bleu. But, the cheese board did not come with ANYTHING besides cheese! I had to ask for some crostini to eat it with! No fruits, nuts, or spreads either! And, later, when I was leaving I realized they have a whole board of about 20 cheeses to choose from and I didn't get to even hear about my choices for the board! Boo.
Then I ordered the gnocchi. It was very rich and buttery, but that's kind of where it ended. No real depth of flavor. D ordered the risotto. It was not a great texture and the cheese and peppers were cold with the warm risotto, which was odd. I wouldn't order that again. The other two in our party also had very average meals - but I didn't try them myself so I will not comment on them.
Service was also very slow and one person ordered wine with the meal and didn't get it until the last bite of his meal. What good is that?
For the price and the prestige of this place, I really thought it would be better. A bit disappointed. Sorry.
