| - The restaurant itself is a stark contrast to other establishments in Little Italy. First off, it's not Italian, and the decor is contemporary. atmosphere does not have any cues from Italy. Inside, you'll see large exposed dark wood beams that add a warm feel to the otherwise cold interior. It's quite a nice looking building from the outside as well. There's also a nice patio area next to the valet parking spaces.
Anyhow, I wished this place tasted as good as its looks. We started the meal with the tartar trio sampler. Presentation on the appetizer was so-so. It was my first time having tartar, but my date had previous experiences with it. She thought it wasn't too bad, but I felt that the salmon tartar tasted like canned food. Perhaps I just don't know what it should taste.
For the main course, I had the pork loin and she had the pan seared wolffish. The food took a while to arrive even though we were finished with the appetizer. However, the server was tentative and checked on us often. Finally the meals arrived. I was a bit let down by the size of the dishes. The pork loin couldn't have been bigger than 6 ounces. Same with her fish. Anyhow, my pork loin was a bit on the dry side and was too salty. The greens that came with the pork loin was nothing special. However, the sauce that came with the pork loin wasn't too bad. The wolffish on the other hand was quite good, just wish there was more of it. We ended with the dessert of the day, I don't remember what it was, so it couldn't have been extraordinary...
Ending the night with a 3 digit bill for this quality of food is not acceptable. Save yourself and go around the corner for much better food!
