| - I really like the atmosphere of this place. The vault rooms are cool, but I'm not sure how you get one other than making a reservation well in advance. We sat near one, though, and it added to the ambiance.
The food was mostly good, but I will say that sharing is a wise choice. We had the tuna tartar -- very good, though I'm not much of a fish fan. Then, we had the carbonara, which was very creamy, but not bacon-y enough. It also needed some salt and pepper, which were not on our table. Third, we had the three-cheese polenta, which was really bland. We told our waitress that we weren't fans, and she took it off our check. For dinner, we had the chicken dish with couscous and Swiss chard. Everything on that plate was delicious. It really blew the rest of the food out of the water.
The wait staff was almost hovering, but I'd rather have that than be neglected. Overall, it was a good experience, but I would not have the carbonara or the polenta again. The other food (tuna and chicken) were top notch -- five star worthy -- but not the pasta and polenta.
