I came here for the first time on Saturday night for a dinner party with a group of 8. Sophisticated and yet surprisingly comfortable atmosphere. Our server and the whole staff were very warm and down to earth. Great selection of cocktails. Loved my northern lights cocktail. We ordered tuna tartar and scallops and bacon for appetizers. Tuna was nicely done sashimi style with subtle flavors and good portion. Scallops were huge and slightly under but solid. There is a huge room and wall of wine on display. We had the Chianti La Piuma and it went so well with our meal. Most of us ordered steak as the main. I had the surf and turf, the Saturday special and it was delicious. They accommodated my substitution for vegetables and additional broccolini. I am reminded why it is definitely better to eat steak at a restaurant rather than attempt to cook it at home. Beef tenderloin was a perfect medium. Others got braised short rib at my table and it got rave reviews. Big portions. For dessert I had the cheese plate. Nice pairing of hard and soft cheeses. Loved the 4 year aged cheddar. At the end of our meal we moved to the drink bar and lounge area and it was perfect. No need to walk or drive to another establishment. This place has it all. It was not overly busy on a Saturday night just the right percentage of patrons to make it a relaxing dining experience. Several families here as well as adults looking for a night out. Overall excellent lounge and restaurant consistent with the Oliver Bonnacini experience. The parking validation completes the experience and makes it worthwhile to come downtown on a Saturday night.
