| - I came here with a friend for a late night dinner. Our appetizers were great, especially the baked Brie, which came with a sweet sauce and nuts. Definitely the best part of the night! I also enjoyed the black mountain shrimp, compliments of the chef.
By the time our food arrived, I was pretty full from the rich appetizers, but still ate some of our dinner. My friend enjoyed her ravioli. I ordered a pecan crusted fish (sorry, but I can't remember which one), which was all right but I couldn't taste the pecan crust very well. The sauce, though rich and buttery, seemed to be lacking pizzazz.
The drawbacks were (1) loud music on the patio - so loud that I couldn't hear my friend talk (2) prices were a little high, though probably on par with your average nice Italian restaurant (3) the decor and vibe wasn't as high-end as the prices and reputation seem to imply.
If the atmosphere was more intimate and comfortable, I'd go back with my significant other on a date. Really, the food was very good, and I'm curious what else might be tasty on the menu. But I'd probably avoid the patio next time.
