I came for dinner after being turned away from another restaurant in the area. I was a bit worried based on some of the reviews and the general emptiness of the place but I was happy with my meal.
I came in and was seated at the bar, as requested. The bartender was very friendly and nice. The service was outstanding and I could not have asked for more. I got a half bottle of their cabernet. This is why I did not rate five stars. I suppose as an American, I have a particular taste for strong, full-bodied, dry reds. The Italian cab tasted like pinot noir and not particularly great pinot at that.
I got the calamari and then the steak for dinner. The calamari was fried perfectly, the batter was crispy and the inside was soft. The shishito peppers and lemon created some depth without being overly strong. The steak was prepared perfectly as well, a true medium and the meat was marbled and delicious. The roasted garlic and Brussel sprouts were more like a garnish but added some flavor.
I was disappointed tiramisu was not on the dinner menu but I got some sort of caramel custard with cherries and almonds and I overlooked it. I would definitely eat here again
