| - BOTTOM LINE: Despite the attention and the awards, my experiences have been disappointing.
I hate to be "that guy" who gives Campagnolo its first [gasp] 2-star rating, but I was disappointed. I also don't think I've ever read so many negative reviews for a place and still see 3-stars and above being dished out left, right and centre. For me, it's not that Campagnolo is bad by any means, but it's just that it falls into the "meh, I've experienced better" category.
Between my dining mates and myself, we've felt that the dishes were generally bland and underwhelming. I wish I could be more descriptive, but it's been about a year since I last attended and can only remember the impressions formed by me and my dining mates.
The serving sizes also tended to be small and unfilling, even when paired with appetizers. Our server was appropriate but service was slooow. And finally, the decor seemed rather inconsistent (i.e., the bar and kitchen area seem really well done, but old traces of the Coffee Time still permeated with their linoleum flooring).
Perhaps our experiences weren't the norm, but recent anecdotal experiences from friends haven't been particularly glowing either (for the same reasons), and so it may be a while before I return.
