My wife and I had an early dinner here on Mother's Day. The atmosphere was well done, and the service was exceptional.
Our waiter recommended a grilled octopus appetizer. We're not generally seafood eaters, but thought it would be fun to try something new. It was outstanding, and I highly recommend it.
We skipped the pasta course and went straight for the 90 day dry aged New York steaks. They were well prepared and gid tasting. I think they may have oversold the aging process. It was certainly a delicious steak, but I feel I've had equally delicious cuts at Ruth's Chris or similar restaurants. The prices here were slightly higher in my view than those types of locales, so I feel like it's more of a premium for the Mario Batali name. Just under $300 for a shared appetizer, two steaks, a shared side, and a glass of wine each.
Still very good. Mashed potato side was very tasty. I would recommend it, just be prepared for the cost.
