| - Came here for dinner during restaurant week. It's in a great location in the flats! The decor is very modern and makes for a special night out. The main reason why this place gets 3 stars and not more is that the prices are a little high for what you get. Otherwise it was overall a good dining experience.
We were seated promptly when we arrived. However, throughout our meal, our waiter out is off a little bit- we asked for more bread for the table, and we had to ask him again because it was taking so long. Also, when we got dessert, we asked for a couple of extra spoons to share, and even after we said we wanted spoons for everyone at the table, he only brought one extra spoon.. It was only after he saw someone scooping out of the communal dessert with a piece of fruit that he brought over more spoons. It seemed like he was bringing is the bare minimum, which was kind of a turn off considering how much the food costs.
As for the food, I ordered off the restaurant week menu and got the calamari as an appetizer, the lobster gnocchi for my entree, and the panna cotta for dessert. The calamari was tasty, and it was refreshing since it isn't fried like most calamari is, but the portion is tiny!! I would definitely not order it for the regular price. The entree, on the other hand, was great. The gnocchi were nice and light, and the sauce was tasty. Only complaint really is that I don't think there was actually that much lobster in it- the pieces that are there are a good size, but it seemed like there were more tomatoes in the dish to make it seem like there were more lobster pieces. Someone else in our group ordered the baked cavatelli, which he said was good, but it was soaked in a cream sauce which is kind of a cop out at a lot of Italian restaurants, which I kind of agreed with in my dish as well. Finally, as for the dessert, the panna cotta was delicious! I would definitely order that again if I go here again- it was nice and creamy with the right hint of sweetness.
Overall, the atmosphere was very nice, and makes for a nice evening out. However, if I had to pay for my meal myself, I probably wouldn't choose to come here, as you can get better quality Italian food for a better price and value elsewhere.
