We came for our anniversary dinner expecting great things. Service was very attentive and our server was very helpful. We wanted to sit outside and it was a nice atmosphere. Their menu is in a classic five course Italian style with 5-10 offerings for each course. Each offering is priced separately. At a place like this, I expected a tasting menu or a pre-consructed course menu but that wouldn't have mattered that much if the food tasted good. We ordered the polenta for an appetizer which was OK though absolutely tiny in portion size, which is par for the course at places like this so we weren't too surprised. I've had much better polenta though.
For our mains, we had a ravioli dish and seafood risotto. My wife's ravioli dish was fine, pasta was fresh and cooked al dente, stuffing lacked very much flavor and was skimpy. The sauce was done fine but nothing extraordinary. Now my risotto. I love risotto in all shapes and sizes but this one was probably one of the worst I had. Rice was overcooked, sauce did not carry any of the seafood flavor that it shouldve given the amount of seafood in the dish. The creaminess was not as it should be either. There were a lot of mussels on my plate and they were definitely not fresh. Fine to eat but tasted like the frozen mussels I buy for $5 a pound at a supermarket and cook at home. I had exactly one shrimp and one prawn (it may have been a langostine). The shrimp was aggregiously overcooked, the prawn/langostine was undercooked. This is the saddest part as these looked like perfectly fine specimens of seafood. Nothing was to the point of inedible perse and but keep in mind that this was a $30 dollar dish so I expected much much more.
Overall, for 70+ for two mains and a appetizer (no drinks or desserts), this place was terrible. Would not ever come back here.
