First visit this week with a small group of friends. Nice atmosphere, great staff and diverse menu. Everyone ordered something different so we had a nice mix of items to sample.
Lots of unique items and even new takes on old classics (Calzone). Everyone enjoyed their food with one exception.....me. Don't get me wrong, I liked what everyone else ordered but mine was a bit odd.
Ordered the Hanger Steak with balsamic reduction and Blue Cheese. As soon as it arrived it literally smelled like road kill (no exaggeration). I immediately wondered if "Hanger Steak" meant it was in the cooler aging for a few months. Taste was funky, too. I sent it back. Literally, the first meal my wife of 7 years has ever seen me send back.
Second pass was slightly less funky....but still funky. I really don't think anything worriesome was involved (rotting meat). Blue Cheese was also not the cause as they left it on the side. Balsamic reduction must take on some odd scent when prepared?
Our server was outstanding and actually took my meal off the bill (I did not any way expect or ask for this). Just NOT an item I enjoyed. Really that simple.
I write this only as a warning to future guests as it sounds very good but I found it to be....not so much. Neither did our friends who all sampled it.
Overrall, nice spot with solid Italian food. Staff is great, portions are large and prices reasonable.
