  • How disappointed am I? Let me count the ways... (Please note, there are a couple of good points towards the end) My wife had never tried homemade pasta so I decided to take her to this place. I had high hopes despite it not having 5 stars on yelp. The experience went down hill from the get-go. General: First off, seating at the Cheesecake Factory is more romantic. Secondly, there were lipstick marks on my glass at the table. Noticed it when they started pouring the sparkling water...and when they got a new bottle, they actually tried to charge us for it. Yes, please let me pay for something I didn't consume! I really hope it was an honest mistake but my feeling is it wasn't. Other than that, service seemed decent, but far from 5 star. Drinks: Wine list is mostly aimed at the top 1% of the wealthy. It fits into the restaurant like a giraffe at a polar bears only convention. We brought our own wine thankfully...but with the 35 dollar corkage fee, the bottle wasn't the only thing getting screwed. Their signature cocktail is worth avoiding. Food: Got the bruschetta and frittura. Bruschetta is basically cheap hot house tomatoes with some garlic and basil loosely placed toast. Frittura is ok, but a little too greasy. Marinara sauce is yummy though. Arugula salad. Save your 17 dollars. It's nothing special at all. For 17 dollars, you could make 10 of these salad at home easily. If you go to a classy restaurant, I would expect some creativity rather than just bowl of leaves and a couple of cherry tomatoes. Main courses - waiter suggested the lobster ravioli, it was unimainative and the fishy taste was dominant. The pasta did not taste homemade as the waiter had said, wish I had instead taken the fusilli with lamb meatballs. We also got the pico toscani which, funny enough being the least expensive pasta, was absolutely delicious! Its a handrolled spaghetti of sorts. Veal, beef and pork meat ragu, very very tasty. Side dishes - if you like salt, get the mushrooms, they're ok but you will get a lethal dose of sodium. Overall we dropped a small fortune and we did not get what we paid for. A note to the restaurant, consider adding a nice homemade lasagna to your menu, your meat sauce is amazing and would be be great in a lasagna.
