| - This is an expensive place and you should expect the best. We had a caesar salad and the lettuce was perfect, it was well tossed, the garlic and anchovy were well balanced, the croutons were crisp and tasty. I've only had better caesar salads when it was table prep in very high end restaurants. The lobster ravioli was extremely good. The pasta is homemade and near perfect, the lobster flavor was strong, the sauce was well balanced, and the shrimp (unusual in lobster ravioli) was very slightly overcooked. We will definitely get that again. However, I cannot recommend the veal saltimbocca. The veal was a little tough, but acceptable. The prosciutto tasted a bit tough and had too much basil flavor. The creamed spinach could have used a bit more creaminess. The roasted potatoes were fine, but nothing to write home about. But the killer was the whole leaves of basic on the veal and slightly mixed into the spinach. Have you ever tasted a whole basil leaf in your mouth? It ruined the dish. We will be back to this place to try other dishes, and especially more pastas, but no more saltimbocca.... If we had just had the lobster ravioli, it would have received 4 stars.
That said, when we passed the bar, the smoke was a bit much, but you couldn't smell it where we ate. Parking is off to the side, but acceptable. The wait staff had good personalities, but service was lacking when the restaurant was full. We waited a good 15 minutes just for the bill.
