Both the menu selection and the execution are beyond anything Champaign previously had B.N. (That's before Nando.) This is the caliber of cuisine you would find in Chicago or St. Louis at an independent chef- owned restaurant. Especially delicious were the gnocchi with truffles, the lobster ravioli, and the polenta appetizer. Our meal was simply fabulous and we will come back again soon. Perhaps since we dined there on Memorial Day weekend that was the reason they were short staffed, but there are some service kinks yet to be worked out, but that is to be expected at a newer establishment in a college town with cyclical labor pools from which to draw. Even with C+ service, the food is enough to draw us back.
