The atmosphere of this place is great! However, the food is average at best. I would've have given the place four stars and the food two stars, hence the three star rating.
The view and out door patio are terrific! They had a nice wine selection and the Riesling was delish. The staff is excellent in every aspect. But, I found myself wishing the food was just a bit better. They give you bread sticks in a paper bag before your meal with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. Yes, this is cute and the bread stayed warm, but it didn't taste fresh or house made. I had a Caesar salad which was pretty good and definitely a large portion for a dinner salad.
For the main course, I had capellini pomodoro. It was okay. Nothing to write home about. I think they used canned tomatoes. It was a huge portion and I don't think I even ate half of it. My husband ordered the ribeye steak and shrimp special, which I of course sampled. The steak was covered in a peppercorn sauce. The sauce itself was good but too heavy and not necessary on a good steak. Plus the sauce looked like it sat on top of the steak for awhile and had slightly congealed. He loved the shrimp. It came with au gratin potatoes which looked more like mashed potatoes au gratin style. They tasted okay but perhaps they were a day old. This time we did not have dessert.
I was craving pasta primavera with fresh vegetables and they didn't have that option on the menu. Before we completely write this place off, I am definitely going back to try a different dish and dessert. It really is a lovely restaurant. I want the food to live up to the staff's service and the perfect view of the city!
