| - The restaurant is broken into two floors the 1st being more of a bar and the 2nd being more of a true restaurant. We ate on the second floor and this Is the review for the restaurant, not the bar. The atmosphere was pleasant, not very loud for our Saturday night reservation. Our table of 6 all ordered drinks. Most of us tried the "Fire of 18??" Reading the ingredients you would have thought it was going to be hot, but more of a slight kick than any real heat. I switched to martini afterwards and sorry to say I have had better. We ordered a couple appetizers to start. The Short ribs were very spicy, which the menu did not mention anything that would make it so hot. The scallops and gnocchi were just alright. The scallops were cooked well and very tasty, but the rest of the dish was ehh. Again there was a heat to the sauce which the menu failed to mention. Cold calamari & octopus and the gnocchi was just barley warm. Not a dish I would recommend, plus the squid ink in the dish was not necessary at all. We also had the frogs leg wrapped in bacon. I'm not a huge fan of frogs legs to begin with, so I won't give my opinion. One of our guest did say the legs were much smaller than what they are used to having. Next was the lobster and shrimp gumbo, personally the best part of the meal for me. Although for $6 they should give you more than what they serve you. Looks like it's about 1/4 - less than 1/2 cup. A shame to as it was very good. For the main course 2 had steaks which looked good and cooked well. One had the fish which looked good. Two of us had the Osso Bucco... what a disappointment this was. First we were told by the waitress that they are well known for the pork dishes. So trusting the word of the waitress we tried it. Now if you aren't sure what Osso Bucco is normally it's slow cooked veal shank, this place does it with a pork shank. Came out looking char black, we think from some type of sauce but not really sure. We ate what we could, was way over cooked, just looking at the Char that was on the bone itself any decent chef could see how over cooked it became. Very very dry, did not get the chance to make comment as waitress never came back once we bit into it. Really disappointed considering that this is what there known for as per our waitress. I wound up getting very sick at the end of the night and I'm not saying this restaurant made me sick, but all I could taste was the Osso Bucco trying to work its way up, so you be the judge. We discussed this on the way home, and think the chef should pay attention to the rule of "less is more". He seems to be trying way to hard to put too many different flavors together at one time. Personally I don't think it works, but you be the judge. FYI might want to keep garbage can next to bed at end of night just in case.
