"2013-02-06T00:00:00"^^ . "OK, now, I LOVE La Fernice. But this review is solely based on my winterlicious experience today.\n\nService was amazing as always. I love the wait staff. Food is always cooked to perfection - especially the pastas. Al dente isn't a given at most Italian places. Also, their bread is to DIE for... 3 pieces later.\n\nFor Winterlicious, I started with the prosciutto and melon. It was great but uninspired. I think it would have really popped with a little drizzle of oil or balsamic. At least they did a few different types of melon.\n\nI had the chicken over polenta. This was horrific. The polenta was hard as a rock. Chicken was tender but this bright orange sauce ruined it aesthetically and taste wise. It was like a bright tomato sauce. Disappointing. \n\nFinally, so Italian ice cream. It was good. The Raspberry sorbet was better.\n\nAll in all, I should have ordered from the regular menu. *sad face*\n\nUntil next time, may your chef hat be straight and your kitchen clean!"^^ . "4"^^ . . .
