I have heard great things about this restaurant. I have even eaten there when it was downtown and it was much better. Now I would not recommend it. You can do much better for the price (ie Maggiano's).
My wife and I were sat at a table at the end of an isle against a small wall. It was a horrible table. Terrible shadows draped the area and we felt cramped and uncomfortable. We asked to be moved and they happily obliged. We sat in a nice 1/2 booth against the wall in the corner. MUCH better.
The service was slow but friendly. She was the kind of waitress that would never be caught up, no matter how few tables she had.
She brought out our calamari appetizer quickly and with a basket of bread and butter. The calamari was crispy and tasty, but salty. The marinara sauce was good too. The bread was fantastic along with the whipped heavily salted butter. Some of the best bread I've had in a long time. The bread and butter was by far the highlight of the evening.
I had the shrimp oreganata. Basically shrimp baked with homemade breadcrumbs with a side of pasta with olive oil. The pasta was over cooked. I expect it al dente. It wasn't. The breadcrumbs held too much oil so it made them greasy. The whole plate was way over salted.
My wife had the fish of the day. It was a sole filet served over wild rice with a buttery sauce topping. She also ordered a side of sauteed "wild" mushrooms. The fish was cooked properly and, for the most part good. It too was overly salty. Salt seemed to be the theme of the evening. The "wild" mushrooms turned out to be normal old button mushrooms. Nothing wild about these. Also too salty.
The total was $88 including tax (we also had a glass of wine each) plus $17 tip for a grand total of $105. If we had went to Maggiano's we probably would have cost us $20 less and we would have had a better meal with better service. Plus we would have had leftovers for the next two days.
