| - Very disappointing. Our first visit and likely our last to this place - wishing I had read reviews before trying. We were asked if we had reservations upon our arrival - it was early evening on a Sunday and there was one other table with a group of four who seemed to be friends or family of the "chef". We asked about patio seating, and were told we could but would have to get table cloth and service set up - it seemed like it was going to be a hassle, so we said ok to sitting in. We were brought water and a bread basket - I don't know what other reviewers consider great, but this was just "ok". Not hot or flavorful - just grocery store French bread.
We ordered drinks, then decided to try the veal. I had the veal piccata, my husband the veal Marsala. Our salads arrived - a plate of romaine lettuce with two cherry tomatoes and a partial slice of red onion. The lettuce was crisp, but you could hardly qualify what we had as a salad. On to our entres. Very chewy veal - I had a few bites that were edible - my husband did not do quite as well. My sauce was overly lemon-y and featured an abundance of capers, but no other flavor. My husband's sauce was very lacking in flavor. Both of us chose linguine, and it was fine, but since flavor depended on the sauces, another disappointment.
We were polite to our waiter and the chef, but did let them know we were not very pleased with our food. The waiter offered to redo my plate, but I really did not want to waste another 30 minutes. No other offer of compensation was made. We paid our bill, over $60 after tip, and made a hasty exit. No other customers came in during our time there.
