| - Came here after work on a Friday evening with work friends - reservation for 11 people. The restaurant is very cool and trendy looking. We were seated in a nice spot.
I ordered a stiff drink while we waited for the rest of our friends to arrive. Menu looked good... everything was shaping up.
I ordered the following app:
Prosciutto e Fico Crostini - Shaved Parma prosciutto, herbed ricotta, arugula topped with shaved parmigiano reggiano and fresh fig.
OH SNAP! It was so delicious.. and this app bumped my rating up by one star. I had never had fresh fig before... this was outstanding. The perfect blend of tastes and textures. I'm going to try to make this at home.
I ordered another drink since we were in for the long haul. The restaurant was starting to get a bit hot and uncomfortable. Luckily, someone came around with fresh cold water frequently. She even made a joke that she would be careful not to put water into our whiskey glass. So, she filled up my water glass... and then proceeded to fill up my other glass...WTF! So I said,.."Uh, you just filled up my whiskey glass.." I'll be honest, I don't think there was anything much left in there... but c'mon. Okay... simple mistake.
My party had started noticing at this point that while the wait staff are nice, we constantly have the wave them down for ordering more drinks, food etc.
My main course was the:
Fettuccine Bolognese - Fresh egg noodle pasta, home style meat ragu and shaved parmigiano reggiano.
Meh... pasta was a little undercooked and the sauce was meh.
My friends and I wanted to go by this time as the service was not as attentive as we thought they should be.
Plus.. they automatically add on 18% tip. I forget whether this was because it was a large group, but we would of expected some better service if this tip was being added on. And if they already know they are getting 18% on everything anyways, why aren't they bringing us drink after drink after drink.
So... delicious, outstanding appetizer... everything else... meh, I'll try somewhere else.
