The menu design was great, however the execution left alot to be desired. \n\nStaff was incredibly attentive and helpful in navigating the a-la-carte and tasting menu. We opted for family style on the a-la-carte menu and they were very accommodating.\n\nLentil Bruschetta Amuse Bouche: A+\nReally savory. Simple dish but was a nice opener. \n\nGrilled Octopus Antipasti: A\nGlorious. Enjoyed the smoky flavor. Octopus was cooked perfectly. Not overdone or rubbery at all, and the olive oil sauce was delicate.\n\nBeef Tripe Stew Antipasti: A\nReally heart beef flavor. Tripe again, was cooked and seasoned to perfection! May not be for everyone's tastes though, since the broth was quite gamey. \n\nClam and Panchetta Linguine: B\nThe pasta was cooked al dente. However, the sauce was significantly overseasoned. Not sure anyone tasted this before it was put up to the pass. Generous serving of clams. \n\nSirloin Filet: A\nPerfect medium rare. Fantastic taste and seasoning. Great execution.\n\nRoasted Lamb Shoulder: B\nWay too overdone. Was also significantly overseasoned. The meat itself was overdone to the extent that it was crispy and dry. We agreed that this would have been an incredible dish if the lamb were a bit more succulent and if the chef didn't have such a heavy hand when seasoning.\n\nChocolate Souffle: A+\nTexture was just right. Souffle was not lopsided. Filling was not too sweet. Absolute deliciousness. \n\nVanilla Marscapone: A+\nShards of dried apple chips, pistachios, and an incredibly creamy marscapone. Really balanced dessert with great flavors. Erred on the sweeter side but still a pleasant finish to the meal.\n\nPROTIP: The souffle is on the seasonal menu so YMMV."^^ . "0"^^ .
