Upscale decor, comfortable, what is expected for restaurants in the price range and neighborhood.
Friendly wait staff, obviously inexperienced, not very helpful. Some members of our party were having difficulty making decisions, most more seasoned wait staff will make suggestions. Good presentation.
My opinions are based on the price level of the menu. In my opinion the food was below average(overcooked eggplant, average sauce). The mussels should have never left the kitchen @ half were inedible and way too salty, so it was graciously removed from the bill. Lots of sugar in the bread that was on the dry side. The Balsamic dressing was odd in texture, tasty on the sweet side.
Did not review the wine selection, the mixed drinks were over iced.
In summary every thing looked good but that is where it stopped. I felt like the philosophy of the restaurant was to maximize profits rather than present claimed creative cuisine. More attention to detail will go a long way.
