| - I used to love this place. Now I just like it. I want them to succeed, so I hope they take this review as constructive criticism. I will likely return.
The food is very good. The entree portion sizes are too small. Or they need an additional timbale, or serving of puree, or something. We shared the skate, and it was meager. Tasty, but meager. And on a plate that was of a size more appropriate for an appetizer.
The other things we ordered were delicious. The octopus, arancini, and brussels sprouts were excellent. The desserts are genius.
The service was disappointing. Dishes were not cleared (I had to ask). We were not escorted to our table (until I asked him to take us there), we were going to be seated at an unappealing table near the stairs (though there were lots of open tables), and it took 15 minutes for a cocktail to appear (despite not being busy). Come on, guys.
I'm very glad they pay their staff a decent wage (they don't accept gratuities). But that needs to translate to good service for the customers. I did not feel that I received very good service. Not terrible, but it was noticeable and annoying.
