My fiance picked this place for our second anniversary and it was a wonderful pick! I was a bit apprehensive as we are a young couple who are university aged and I really didn't want to deal with the snooty servers mentioned in other reviews. Maybe we dressed well or something because we didn't have to deal with that.
It's the small touches like the hostess taking my coat that really makes this place. My least favourite thing about the experience would be the space. I think they made the best out of it to fit their theme but it felt too crowded. In any case that was soon forgotten as we enjoyed our food.
I ordered the special, Ossobuco. He ordered the Vitello Balsamico. Both of our dishes were spectacular. The lamb in my dish was so tender and fall apart that I didn't have to use my knife on it, it gave away like butter. My guys dish was smothered in a generous serving of mushrooms. Flavours were all there! My dish was missing the polenta and the server was quick to correct it but didn't really take ownership that it was a mistake, it felt like he was doing me a favour by bringing out a component of my dish. It wasn't done in a rude way but I would've appreciated an apology.
For dessert, I ordered the Pistachio Panacotta and he ordered the Tiramisu. They were both spectacular. The tiramisu was so decadent and the panacotta so refreshing!
Yes, this place is expensive but I think for a special occasion it's worth it. I thought our food was great and service was good.
