                                                            We ordered champagne, they delivered Prosecco without explanation. When we asked, they said “everybody runs out this time of year.”

                                                            We have always liked the Zinfandel Grille. However, things have changed. We ordered a meal. Our server, Celine, was attentive and nice. Scallop Risotto Day Boat Scallops, Lemon, Basil & Saffron Brodo for $45. I know scallops are not cheap, but this was higher than some of the other choices. It was very good, but WAY TO EXPENSIVE. One of us ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon, it was $15 per glass. It came in a very big wine glass, with a terrible pour that looked like 1-1/2 inches. A crummy pour for $15. We were there on a Friday night, and there were plenty of tables available. Not surprising considering the above. If they are trying to make more money by charging more and giving terrible pours of wine - that logic isn't working. This restaurant used to be packed on a Friday night. Very disappointing for a restaurant we once loved. R Hauf

                                                            Disappointed that there were not any dishes identified as vegan or vegetarian. When we asked about vegetarian dishes it was “salad”. The menu was very limited for all options.

                                                            I thought it would be more upscale than it is. The ambience gave off diner vibes which didn’t match with the menu prices. Salmon had cold veggies which I sent back and they were very accommodating. Salmon itself was delicious and served warm. Espresso martini was GREAT. You could tell it was made with real espresso Afaghato was also amazing Short rib special was great! Potatoes and gravy were served with it and were equally exceptional. Broccolini was fine to a good texture but was unfortunately luke warm. Would I return here? Only with a group that already decided to go there but I would not choose this place on my own again. Ov
