| - Went here for a birthday dinner, and the food was delicious! We had the eggplant/cheese appetizer which was phenomenal and probably one of the best appetizers I've had in my life. The goat cheese and eggplant worked so well together. We also had the margherita pizza which was not on the main menu but they still made it, and it was not that great...lacked sauce, and needed more cheese and basil leaves. But maybe that's because I'm obsessed with margherita pizzas and have had way better ones elsewhere. Then we had the lobster for the main, which was really good...but again not the greatest lobster I've had. They brought us complimentary desert for the birthday boy, which was super nice of them. The chocolate cake and tiramisu were both such a treat. In terms of the price, it wasn't too expensive for the location (Yorkville).
Other than the food not being top-notch (but better than average), the service wasn't too great...They took way too long to check up on us each time, and serve our food despite it not being too busy. While the ambiance was beautiful, and the place looked pretty clean, unfortunately we did spot a cockroach crawling on one of the tables in front of us. Once we noticed it, we immediately notified one of the waiters, he seemed surprised, but not too shocked, and simply stepped on it with his shoe to kill it. Did not offer any sincere apologies...
Overall, I really liked the place and food...but I'm not exactly eager to go back so fast. Better service and cleanliness, and maybe I will be.
