| - I came here with a Groupon for the four course meal for four people for $125 instead of paying $200 something. I had the bruschetta, the Crespelle Frutti di Mare (Crepe with shrimp, crab and scallop in a cream pernod sauce), linguine with shrimp and lobster meat in a rose sauce and the tiramisu ice cream / cake. The crepe was really good, all the savoury flavours blended well and it came out fresh and hot. The linguine was decent, I found it barely had any lobster meat, and it was hard to taste in the over rose sauce. I thought the linguine was slightly overcooked and too soft.
I came with my family and they had the mushroom salad, escargot and calamari. I was able to try their appetizers and we agreed that they were all below are expectations. They were pretty bland and untasteful, also the textures didn't feel that great with those appetizers. Also the mains they had (lamb tenderloin and veal) were A-OK, nothing special. The plating was a bit off though, I found there was sauces on my plate from another dish at our table.
All in all, with the Groupon I still think this place is overpriced because we're still paying around $30 for food, so you aren't really getting a great deal or anything from this place. So for that price I don't think it's worth it. The only thing that was good was the Crepe appetizer. Everything else was average.
