gemeli pasta wasn’t well done, red wine didn’t seem to be reduced enough or at all so it tasted way too boozy. seafood pasta was salty but otherwise was great.

Food is good, but not necessarily at the Michelin -mention level. It was serve promptly without much waiting. But service needs a lot of improvement. When we arrived, we had to wait for five minutes before a waiter felt bad enough about us to come and asked if we have reservations. All the waiters were more interested in setting up tables than serving us. They all ignored us standing at the door. There was no host or hostess. Finally, a waiter verified our reservation and asked us to wait even though there were plenty of empty tables. During dining, we had to ask for water refill, no one comes by after putting the foods on table. Also, the area at night is dangerous to walk to your car. And there are not much parking spaces anywhere. You have to walk far to find a spot on the street.
