| - A good friend recommended this place, so my husband and I decided to try it this past weekend. When I made the reservation, I was asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, so I said yes- we would be celebrating my husband's birthday. I thought this was a nice touch and assumed they would do something special for him (a complimentary dessert, glass of champagne, etc.) as we have experienced this at other restaurants. Upon arriving at the restaurant, we checked in with the hostess who said "Happy Birthday" and took us to our table. We were seated in a small room with about 3 other couples and 3-4 tables of very large, very loud parties. We could barely hear each other which was extremely annoying.. Our waiter came to greet us and asked how we were doing. We asked how he was doing as well, which turned out to be a mistake, as every time he came back to our table he began complaining about how much he loathes Valentine's Day and can't wait to be done with his shift. When ordering our meals, he asked us both if we wanted soup or salad with our dinner- as if a choice of one came with the meal... we later found out they did not. I feel that he should have mentioned this to us. Also, I ordered a filet cooked medium that was unfortunately well done (and rather tough) when it got to our table. My husband's rack of lamb was mediocre at best. Other couples around us were complaining about how loud and UN-romantic the setting was considering most were out to celebrate Valentine's Day. All in all, considering the noise level, grumpy waiter, just average food, no extra touches for a special occasion and a $175... totally not worth it.
