Reviews
Parking is on the street by the hotel, not sure if hotel parking can be used since restaurant seems to be part of it. Bathrooms available and clean. Prices were fair and options were good. I recommend this place !
There were barely any guests, so we did get our food quickly. Although our server was a nice, young kid, he had the memory of a goldfish. He came to our table twice to as us: how are the first few bites? As he approached to fill my friend’s water glass, I took my last few sips to have him fill mine too. He cluelessly just walked away. He didn’t know what types of vodka were available or what types of juice. I’ve made better drinks at home. I will admit, my girlfriends were pleased with their meals (one had the NY Strip and the other Ale-Braised Beef Short Rib). And the presentation of all dishes was exceptional. But my Scallop Wild Mushroom Risotto was gross. The risotto tasted old and the mushrooms were slimy (reminded me of the texture of boiled okra). Compared to the same dish at Ciao, this dish left much to be desired.
Lastly, for such a classy place, I’d expect the host to acknowledge not only the guests coming in, but those leaving as well. This lad was perched on a stool behind the stand surfing his phone. He didn’t even look up as the group in front of us, or my girlfriends and I exited the front door.
As a server for many years myself, I tend to be critical of service… especially when the price of an entree is reaching $50. It was frustrating to tip 15% for what I consider bad service on a $200 bill. Other reviews cited long wait times for food and bad service. Perhaps this is the reason there were only 4 tables occupied and one patron at the bar on a Friday night.
