| - This was a new place to us and we'll be back. The waiter, Michael, does not count himself a vinophile, but he asked good questions and "downsold" us into trying the Montepulciano (red). It was excellent. We had the feta bruschetta, which was well-complimented by the wine. My meatloaf was dense, rich and very flavorful. I chose the ratatouille and falafelle as sides. My wife and I agreed that the ratatouille nearly stole the show, but the bowtie pasta (which was dusted with parmesan and included a few veggies) was delicious. Wife ordered the lamb with spinach and greek potatoes. I'm not a lamb person, but she said it good, not great. Her sides were excellent, but I enjoyed mine more. We finished with a piece of cheesecake and espresso. The cheesecake was better than average, but not the tops I've ever had. Espresso was one of the best I've ever tasted. Portions pleasing, but not too much.
The restaurent was quiet the night we went, so no surprise the service was great. The atmosphere was nice, but jeans wouldn't be out of place. The menu isn't bewilderingly deep, but there's plenty to try next time we go. Two wines, an appetizer, two entrees, a dessert and tip and you're out the door for under $75. Considering the tastiness of the food and good service, a good value. We will both be recommending this to friends.
