| - I can't speak for all the other reviews here, but I would not consider coming back to eat here again, even if it were free. My friend mentioned this place had good reviews last time we hung out, but we went somewhere else. He suggested to come here tonight and it was his birthday celebration so we came here. It's close by, good reviews, why not?
The environment inside was nice. We went earlier, around 6pm, so it was empty. The decor is much fancier inside than how it appears outside. It looked expensive from the outside - it was. The staff was friendly and paid attention to us, which was nice. There's live music in the corner, we caught the tail end of it.
The birthday boy and I ordered the 4 course (bruschetta + salad/soup + entree + dessert). The last person ordered veal with artichoke. Our soup was some sort of zucchini-squash, which was hot and delicious. They put on pepper and parmesan. There was bread on the side - it was cold - but went well with the soup.
Next came the bruchetta, which was also decent. It was hot and garlic-y. I think they gave us an extra piece since we had 3 people, but only two of us ordered the 4 course special. We enjoyed it.
Then came our entrees - I ordered seafood risotto. It looked like a hot mess on a plate - not appetizing at all. I'm not one to be big on plating, but there were smudge marks ALL over the plate. There were mussels, squid, and a couple pieces of shrimp. The risotto was very wet, almost soup like. It's hard to hate on something when the staff and environment is nice, but honestly, it tasted like soupy rice, made poorly with canned chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup. I had a couple spoons of the dish and stopped eating completely.
The birthday boy had the salmon with mashed potatoes. It didn't look good, but it tasted fine (especially comparing to the other entrees).
Our last friend had the veal - he wanted something cool and artichoke sounded yummy. His vegetables and mashed potatoes tasted like they were drowned in butter. I didn't have his veal, but he didn't enjoy it compared to other veal he's had in the past.
We finished it off with tiramisu - again, not the best. The cheese tasted like it was heavily mixed with whipped cream. There was not enough coffee liqueur nor espresso taste either.
As mentioned earlier, we caught the tail end of the live music. It was nice and pleasant. We liked the atmosphere. The food was meh. But the music was good. Unfortunately you can't eat music.
