We recently had dinner here as a party of 6. First off this restaurant is in serious need of a facelift. It's decor is not only very dated but a bit shabby. Second the service is slow. Our reservation was for 8:00pm and we didn't order until 9:00pm. While some of the staff were courteous and efficent our waiter didn't seem particulary enthused to interact or wait on us. He read off the nightly specials with a dizzying speed that left most of us questioning what was what. I orderd one of the fish specials because I recalled that it had lemon and capers. When my dinner finally arrived approximately 90 minutes into the dining experience it neither tasted of lemon or had a single caper on it. After that long of a wait I wasn't sending it back. It was overall cooked perfectly but very bland. My husband's opinion of his entree (Pollo Al Carciofi) was the same, perfectly cooked but a little bland and boring.
The wine list is extensive but expensive, bottles start in the $70.00 range and go up over $2000.00. If you are interested in bringing your own bottle the corkage fee is $50.00 which was literally barked at us when we brought in a bottle as a gift which we had not planned to open there.
Lastly the restaurant was NOISY. Noisy to the point of nearly ruining our dining experience. Between two large gin soaked parties and the live music entertainment I had trouble following conversation at our own table.
If you are looking for a special evening out there are far too many choices in this town to settle for mediocrity.
