We were exhausted one night after a show at the IX center and decided to pop in and give this a pre-Valentine's Day try. The hostess seemed a little shocked that we didn't have a reservation, but did accommodate us... probably due to the fact that the area was getting pounded with snow and she expected cancellations. It is a very small restaurant so I think expecting reservations was more a necessity than trying to be snobby.
We got a decent table by the kitchen and immediately enjoyed the warm atmosphere. Our waiter left a little to be desired, but the other waitstaff totally took over for him where needed; bringing us more bread or refilling our drinks.
The bread. Oh my God, it is so delicious. The olive oil with Parmesan blend is SO delicious, it makes my mouth water thinking about it. The salad had some of the best house dressing ever.
I ordered the lobster ravioli a la vodka and it was great. My husband's veal parmigiana was GIGANTIC. We were both stuffed by the time the meal was over but still took a piece of tiramisu home and that was excellent.
The kitchen got behind while we were there and we definitely waited an absurd amount of time for our food, but they had several large tables and we could see them working and they were sweating their balls off.
This was an extremely expensive meal, but it was definitely delicious. It is a great treat every now and then or a very nice place to take family or a client.
