| - We called the restaurant to see if 16 out-of-town diners could get in on a cold (18 degree) night for a 6 PM Dinner. We were told to make it 6:30 PM and we were in! We discovered why when we approached the Restaurant (walking in this cold for a So. Cal. resident) was absolute torture, but worth ever shiver after tasting the food! The area it is in is the theatre district, so everyone was headed to a show after dinner. As a result we pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves. So yes, service was excellent.
Now for what we really want to hear about - THE FOOD! I had the absolute pleasure of having a Real Caesar Salad with anchovies, that was made with a real Caesar Dressing and extra anchovies over the top. It was an absolutely delicious Caesar better than any I have had in years. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, which was delightful and perfectly cooked.
Other winning dishes at the table included: Broiled Seafood Platter with Lobster Tail, Scallops, Oysters Rockefeller, Stuffed Clams, Stuffed Shrimp, and Filet of Sole. Yes that is a lot of food and can easily be shared by two. Other noteworthy dishes included: Brolied Sea Bass, and Broiled Jumbo Sea Scallops (and it is a large portion).
An absolute must for dessert is the Tiramisu which sent many fellow diners into a bit of a taste bud orgasm. Great Service, nice atmosphere and delicious food. Also kudos to the wait staff that was very accomodating with people splitting dishes and altering food recipes to please a Vegetarian Diner.
