| - Cons:
The food is very hit or miss. When you wait months for a reservation, the food better be delicious.
It's expensive. Chicken prepared in a perfectly ordinary way with pantry staples should certainly not be over $30. Additionally, if you are paying that much for ingredients that are as a whole inexpensive, you'd expect to have a decent portion. Not quite. I had less than 5 bites of the protein I ordered in my meal. This happened each time. Finally, I ordered the pasta dish and that came in a more reasonable portion size. For reference, I'm not expecting gigantic portions or to even take leftovers home. I want to feel reasonably full at the end of my meal (especially when it includes appetizers, soup/salad, an entree, and dessert).
Also, I'm not quite sure what it is, but I have been to WR 3-4 times. Each and every time I've had a major stomachache within a few hours after eating there. It could be the richness of the food, but I am not certain. I am not the only one to experience this though.
Pros:
Very small and secluded with a cozy ambience. There were very few tables and the service was excellent.
The food did taste pretty good in general. Sometimes there were major let-downs in the preparation of the meat or the sides. (There were times when it was inconsistent--see above)
The pasta--it was wonderful. Amazing. Expensive, but really quite good. If you want good homemade pasta for a fraction of the price try La Tavola on Mt. Washington. Much better.
BYOB would certainly be a solid pro.
