I think I set my expectations too high, plus it was my birthday dinner so had the restaurant choice resting on my shoulders...
I'm giving it 3 stars for the shear reason that the macaroni and cheese was such a spectacular gem in the meal experience.
The service was atrocious, they forgot that it was a birthday dinner and we sat next to loud family with 3-4 texting teens (oh yes, there ARE a few signs around that say no cell phone use but apparently they don't apply to this table).
The spicy calamari and tuna carpaccio on watermelon were delish to start. Thank goodness as they seemed to be out of everything from the bar and never came back in time for me to order a glass of wine.
Looking dapper in linen pants, my date had the filet which was amazing. My scallops and sweet pea risotto were ok...have had better scallops but it was a good dish.
Desert was merely "eh" so don't save room - lick the mac-n-cheese bowl and don't expect a second cup of coffee unless you have a flare gun or send out an expedition party.
Would try again just in the hopes of getting a better table not in the back and experiencing better end to end meal.
