| - I had a pretty good experience here, although it seems like my brethren did not. That being said...
I used a dealfind coupon I had bought. That is what brought me here on a Wednesday night. That and the fact that I have nothing but butter, champagne, and a portobello mushroom in my fridge. Time to eat out! The coupon said that I had to make a reservation to use it, so I dutifully called up last night at 5pm and asked if I could come at 7:30. The short notice wasn't a problem at all. Of course when I got there we were the only table in the restaurant. No wonder they weren't concerned about seating my coupon-loving self. The service was good throughout the night, despite the fact that they knew I would be using a coupon.
We ordered a antipasti platter to share as an appetizer. It was pretty good! Olives, artichokes, grilled red pepper, procuitto and salami. It was pricey, but hey, I has a coupon! Good portion sizes.
For dinner we split the linguine with seafood and the linguine with smoked chicken and pancetta. Both pastas were good, although I think my seafood pasta was better. A healthy serving of mussels, calamari, shrimp and scallops. I had it prepared with the white wine and garlic sauce at the suggestion of the waitress.
We split the dessert duo (creme brulee and tirimisu). Both were made in house and were very nice.
The only real downside to the meal? Waking up at 4 am DYING of thirst. Guess the meal had more salt than I realized!
Dinner for two came to $90 with tax and tip ($30 after the coupon! Yeah dealfind!) for a sharing appetizer, two pasta, one dessert and two alcoholic beverages.
