FOOD: "upperscale" (?) Italian food. Decent sized menu with at least 5 choices in each section: appetizers, pastas, meat, seafood. I had the pasta w/ clam and loved it. But they over-cooked (and had to re-do) my guest's steak...
SERVICE: depends on who you get. The lady serving the table beside ours was extremely friendly and helpful. Wish I could say the same about our waiter...
COST: About $15-$20 for each entree. The meal for the two of us (with a 1/2L wine) ended up around $70.
OVERALL: Newly renovated (I can still smell the paint), a grand piano in the main room (live music potential?) and free parking in front after 6pm. Weighing the distance from my house vs. food quality and price... I'd probably choose to try many others before returning.
