I wasnt that impressed.\n\nThe Pros:\nFantastic ambiance\nKnowledgeable wait staff\nThe yam-stuffed raviolis are to die for (some of the other reviews mention them as well)\nExcellent assortment of local and small California wines\nExcellent home-made salamis\n\nThe Cons:\nThey killed, and I mean KILLED my NY Strip steak. Past well done. Sawdust. You just dont do that in a $300 place. My 12 year old does that. Didn't offer to re-do it, but wanted to get me \"something else\"? WTH?? Like I dont know what sawdust in my mouth is and what a NY strip is supposed to taste like?\nThe halibut was under cooked as well. \nOne of the wine courses didnt come out with the meal course.\nThey added a automatic 18% gratuity. Even on the alcohol. You just dont do THAT either.\n\nSo go for the atmosphere and anything \"tuscany\", but stay away from anything else. For a \"high end\" place they fall short. Go to Fleming's or something instead if you want better all around food. Dont say we didnt warn you."^^ . . "0"^^ . "2011-02-22T00:00:00"^^ .
