| - My hubby bought a groupon for this place, so we tried it tonight. We were going to go with a group of friends, but they only allow 1 groupon per table.
Valet was $7 and they park your car right in front which is convenient. Walking in, they had 2 hostesses who were very pleasant. The decor is modern. Our server was really nice and attentive. I think his name is Chando? I appreciate it too when the server offers to box leftovers instead of customers having to ask for boxes. I guess I feel like I'm not imposing when they offer to do it.
As we were seated, he filled our water glasses and talked to us about the groupon, which included a bottle of wine from the $32 list (which is possibly their cheapest wine selection). The selection here is pretty extensive. I really enjoyed the bread basket with the garbanzo and cannelini bean hummus. I think that's what they were. My husband got the soup of the day which he said was just ok. Nothing special. My caesar salad was also the norm but there was so much of it, which was a waste.
I like the pasta tasting trio, which our server said varies daily depending on the chef's selection. We had the paparrdele w/ sausage and cabbage, gemelli with spinach and ricotta and ramp, pea, asparagus ravioli. All tasted pretty good. My fave among the three waa the pappardele and my hubby liked the ravioli. I did notice our server called the gemelli a fusilli but they do look pretty similar, and I didn't really mind bc either way, the dish would prob taste the same. The servers came around with the food efficiently and I felt like I was at an all you can eat brazilian steakhouse only with the chip always on green side. No complains though because we were able to take our food to go.
We also ended up taking the tiramisu to go and actually haven't tasted it yet. It looked good! Price wise, if we didn't have a groupon, I think the bill would've been $104 plus two tiramisus, so the groupon was prob a 50% off deal. Overall, I would recommend the food we had and the service.
