  • I wish I could give half stars, because this is a 2.5 but not a 3. We walked in on a Friday night without reservations and were offered seating on the patio, which is a lovely space and very pleasant. Our waiter was attentive, and when one of our party mentioned that she was allergic to wheat, he made sure to note this on her order even after helping her identify a menu item he thought was wheat free. Sure enough, this proved to be a good thing because the kitchen adjusted her polenta and omitted a sauce that would have caused problems. He also made a special trip to the bar to ask about wheat-free beers, and was able to offer her a beverage that she enjoyed. He didn't, however, understand how to pour an unfiltered beer, and despite my daughter attempting to politely intervene in his pouring of her beer ignored her. A small error, but not unforgivable. Most of the problems came from the kitchen. The appetizers were quite good. Daughter and I split the goat cheese fritter salad, which had a very nice combination of a mild and sweet goat cheese and the bitter snap of frisee. The braised greens were flavorful, and hubby enjoyed his pasta. Things fell apart a little with our main courses. Daughter and I split an order of the scallops over black risotto, and Hubby and our friend each had the polenta with braised short ribs. Our scallops arrived at the table, but the polentas were nowhere to be seen. It was at least 5 minutes before the polentas arrived, which says to me that someone in the kitchen fired the scallops much too early, and instead of dealing with the mistake in the kitchen, they brought them out to our table to quietly die while we waited for the rest of the party to be served. A delay of a minute is tolerable; this delay was ridiculous. The scallops, once we did get to eat them, were well-cooked, but one of them still had a considerable amount of grit. Neither Daughter nor I liked the risotto, which had a slimy texture. Our guest liked her gluten-free braised ribs and polenta, but Hubby was not happy with his. I tasted the two different polentas, and honestly I think the gluten-free one, without the addition of some sort of bechamel sauce, had a better taste and mouth-feel. On the whole, the ambiance of the place is very nice, but I will not be in any hurry to visit again
