| - I certainly don't understand the hype over this place. That's strike 2 for you Guy Fieri (#1 is Chino Bandido, bleh). The layout of this restaurant is very strange, but I kind of like that they separate the large groups from the smaller groups of diners. The staff, especially our server, was extremely accommodating and put up with our certainly frustrating antics of playing board games on the dinner table.
I was pretty hungry when we got here, so i decided to order something on the heavier side and went with the gnocchi. The gnocchi were lightly pan fried and then drowned in a ridiculously rich cheese/cream sauce and sprinkled with chunks of pancetta and a handful of wild mushrooms. The mushrooms tasted really weird for some reason and the sauce was too tangy. It just didn't complement the dish the way it should have. I did however, eat every last bit of pancetta. Yum! I saw a slice of German Chocolate Cake (no, it is not German in the least bit) being served to someone at another table and I gave the puppy dog eyes until we ordered it. It came out looking rather impressive, but it went down tasting rather dull. It was dry and lifeless and the only good part, the coconut pecan icing, was severely lacking.
Well, I won't be back here, especially after most of my companions were less than enthused with their meals instead. Oh well, I guess that will make everyone else happy.
