| - Service: very attentive. The young lady behind the bar was not a wine drinker so was not helpful in selecting wine. i had the avocado salad and the mushroon ravioli. the salad was delish, and the ravioli was a bit blad, but has potential. pasta was al dente, and the sauce was lovely, but again, needed something... maybe groud pepper? Or some fresh grated parmagiano? truffle oil? i was offered second glass of wine and pratically doted upon by all staff members on the floor. the prices were a bit high, and the music was a little bit country, which did not match the decor. they have local artist work on the walls which is gorgeous, but the ambiance does bot match the decor. Visually, the place is very warm and lovely. they miss the mark on total ambiance tho, as the ,usic, and energy level was very low.
I went in at 6:40 on a friday night and the place was empty and quiet, tho they have happy hour specials. I think a little marketing and branding would go a very long way. Its almost like they are not quite sure what they want to be, as pasrt of the place is a bar/casual restaurant, and the other is formal dining (empty).
I like the staff and owner and hope thye can find their place in Anthem, and discover a way to draw people in through promotions, great food, reasonable prices, and special ecents.
