| - Sort of a strange experience here. We decided to try it because of a recommendation, and because it seemed like an interesting location - in a former women's prison. Although the underground restaurant is interesting and unique, that's not enough to carry the day. The menu is handwritten on a large board that is stuck onto a very heavy music stand. For whatever his reason, our waiter insisted on parking this monstrosity inches from our table when not being used, even though there were plenty of other places to put it where it would not have bothered anyone. Service was not great, we should have been told that the appetizers were GIGANTIC! We got two and it was definitely one too many. But wow, what an appetizer! Definitely get the mozzarella and tomato! Excellent! But back to the service, at a place like this, it's reasonable expect a little more than just writing down our orders, but that's really all he did. I wanted a beer and there are only two on the menu - fine, so I ask for a little info on them since they're both Italian and not very common. I got nothing. The entrees were very good, but not amazing. Overall, 4.5 for food, 2.5 for service, a generous 4 overall.
