| - We had a reservation for this place, and were seated immediately upon our arrival. The table was well-set and the decor on the inside was under-stated and neat. I liked it fine, and there seemed to be a lot of space, unlike other restaurants where you feel like you're crowded into other people's tables.
The servers were always well-dressed (especially the ladies.. All of M's ladies are very well-dressed, aren't they?). Our main waiter was good, as well, and refilled the water glasses as quickly as we could drink them, and poured wine for us as well. Very impressive was the tray of different kinds of breads, which a nice female server gave to each of us. After sampling most of them, I liked the green olive and the sourdough the best.
The menu was actually quite affordable, ranging in price from $20 to $40 per plate, depending on what you ordered. I myself had the lobster with shaved truffles and corn, and it was excellent. The lobster was fresh and just the right (non-rubbery) consistency, and the accompanying sauce was amazing. I almost wanted to drench everything in it, but thought better of it. The lobster was pretty much the whole lobster, but the claws were missing... Apparently they use the claw meat mainly for the lobster risotto, which someone else at the table got, and was stuffed full of lobster claw meat. I had a taste of the lasagna as well, which was good, but not as good as my lobster, of course. I did not sample the wine, but something i thought was odd was that they don't automatically provide lime with their Pellegrino... I thought that was understood already, but I guess some people do like it without....
Someone had a birthday with us, so they gave us a free dessert tiramisu, which is to die for, and plenty to share with 3 or 4 (not too greedy) people. They even gave us a candle, which is a nice touch.
Overall a good experience. Check out the entrance, too, it's rather striking.
