Overrated. We were in town for a couple of nights and took our son and his girlfriend out to dinner. We were impressed by the sophisticated atmosphere, but not much else. I truly enjoy a friendly server, but ours was so busy regaling us with personal stories, that he completely forgot my glass of wine. It took about 15 minutes to get his attention, at which point the others were halfway through their drinks. He was very apologetic, but didn't offer to comp the drink. In addition, he upsold the whiskey used in one of the drinks (we understand there would be an additional charge) then tacked on an extra 20% when the bill arrived. The caesar salad was covered with anchovies and drenched in dressing. (Typically a server would ask our preference regarding anchovies.) One of the worst caesars we've had. The neapolitan pizza was completely unremarkable. One guest joked that it looked like a small Mama Celeste pizza; very little cheese and an odd aftertaste. The only highlight was the rigatoni with vodka sauce and added shrimp. The vodka sauce had just the right amount of "heat" and the four shrimp were perfectly done. Unfortunately, we won't return and although the concierge at the hotel asked for a review, we could not give a positive one.

Absolutely amazing and a must try! From ambience to service to food it was a well worth visit! Expert Foodie approved!

Wonderful food and even better service. The atmosphere is unique and modern.

Had an incredible experience celebrating my dad's birthday!

Very limited menu for main dishes. Only one fish selection; whole snapper at $65. Tasty but nothing special. Overuse of red pepper flakes in every dish. Lobster pasta dish had one small chunk of lobster. Overall good experience, great attentive service. Will probably not go back. Meal price not remotely close to the value or cuisine expected.

Amazing ambiance and food, great wine selection

Great place for more “upscale” Italian dishes. Great service and quality food and wine!

It was great - the waiter was very attentive and the entire staff was so friendly. Will definitely be back more often.

Outstanding. Ate at the bar and service was excellent.

Food was not that good compared to options in the area.
