But tonight, we made reservations and went for it. \n\nOur reservation was for 6:15 - we arrived early at 6:00pm - our table was ready, so we got seated right away. To be honest, I wasn't thrilled with the decor of the restaurant. The bar and restaurant are separate. The restaurant is clean and a simple design. \n\nTo start, we ordered a glass of wine. Their bottles are on average $55 or more- the first glass I ordered was a white wine for $9 - our waitress suggested it but I wasn't a fan. We ordered the bread and Brussel sprouts appetizer. Literally, the bread was pizza dough crust with olive oil. For $8 - it was good but not worth $8. The Brussel sprouts were good. Not worth $9. \n\nFor my entree, I ordered the Gnocchi with Meatballs- the gnocchi was the best I've ever had. Simply delicious. The meatballs were good, but I prefer my mother's meatballs. It was expensive though $18. If you want the fancy bread bowl? Add additional $11 - no thanks. I also ordered a different kind of white wine for $12. I wish this restaurant was BYOB. \n\nFor dessert, we got a rainbow cake and tiramisu to share. The rainbow cake was awful - it was so dry and there was hardly any raspberry jam in between the layers. I would not get this again. The tiramisu was good - but I've had better. \n\nI also got an order of the cream puffs and biscotti to go. The cream puff was delicious. The biscotti was nothing to write home about. \n\nTo review - I'd go back to order the Gnocchi & Meatballs - but this restaurant is too expensive for the quality of food."^^ .
