Beautiful and rustic. The place has a lot of charm and visual appeal. Drinks and wine list is really nice. Service is some of the best in the city.
Where the restaurant falls short is the menu, which is extremely surprising since we're talking about an ex buca chef, and there's high expectations. The food is bland, under seasoned, flavours are over described and then under delivered, and there's not a single dish over two visits that I even care to remember.
In light of how disappointing the food is, the cicchetti style menu just seems like an excuse to overcharge. You can easily spend $100 per person here and not actually be full by the end of the meal.
The only thing at this restaurant that is really of any interest is the friendship coffee service. I would come back to this restaurant for friendship coffee and dessert only.
