| - Dear Luxe,
I heard good things. I didn't experience such goodness.
First, our table was ready half an hour after our reservation. Thanks.
We ordered an appetizer that came out half an hour after we ordered it, but five minutes before our main courses. That drives a hungry kid bonkers. There were about 5 of us that shared food, and we got the Margharita, the pizza with olives and such, the braised beef gnocchi, and some veggie lasagna. I thought everything was tasty, but it was pretty pricey for what we got. It was $240 for 5 of us after 2 appetizers, 5 meals and 2 bottles of wine.
The atmosphere is very tasteful; it appears to be an old bank building. However, the owners appear to be trying to milk the space for every square foot. Tables are crammed in and it makes it tough to maneuver in an out of your table. The bar area encroaches on some tables as well - it looked like it bothered the people at the tables to have bar patrons hovering over them.
The food was good. But that doesn't navigate an obstacle course of condensed tables, steep prices and sub-par service.
