| - Looking forward to celebrating a birthday with a nice dinner, the hostess did ask if it was a special occasion at the time of the reservation was made.
Decor was upscale and pleasant. Cocktails were good. We followed some of the server's suggestions in picking our different courses. Antipasti of grilled octopus, and roasted squash. Pappardelle Bolognese as our primi. Beef Short ribs, pork chop, and hanger steak for secondi, along with sides of broccoli, and roasted fingerling potatoes. The antipasti were good, although executed with an overly complex blend of flavors to our taste. I found the pasta to be bland. The hanger steak was very good, the short ribs good, the pork chop not good at all, extremely under cooked in one part, over done in the other. The potatoes a bit dried out, broccoli was actually fried broccolini. Service was excellent. For a high end restaurant, the culinary experience was very disapointing. Not sure why they would ask about any special occasion since nothing was ever mentioned by any member of the staff. Would not recommend for the price point.
