    This is one of our favorites because the food is always perfect and the ambiance is amazing. On this particular day we had made reservations to celebrate a family milestone, and it also happened to be gorgeous outside so we were really looking forward to the fresh air. Even though we had very early reservations and the restaurant was not crowded, we were placed in a windowless back room we've never seen before. Food and service were great again, but the ambiance was terrible. And granted my teenage kids were not super dressed up, but even when we left the dining room with the windows and outside wasn't packed. I was very disappointed considering we had reservations and we have been such loyal visitors.

    Our evening was a definite disappointment. The service was very rushed. We were pressed to order dinner before our cocktails were ready and salad and appetizers were served together before we had a chance to take our first sips. Dinner arrived just shortly afterwards and was uneven. One dish was delicious, one was so-so, and the third was disappointing at best. There is a distinct difference between pasta which al dente and that which is simply undercooked. All in all this was not the experience we had been hoping for.

    Our meal here was very good. We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers, drinks, and pasta. The only downside is that they do not serve dessert and directed us to Graeter’s down the street. Love Graeter’s, but it would have been more convenient to have coffee and dessert while we were already there.
