We did wait about 25 minutes to get our desert order in. They were packed last night, but still. \n\nThe food was very good but minimal. Typical high-end fancy with stacked food. Not a big fan of that, but others seem to like it. I ate my dinner (flounder; excellent), then half of my wife's, and then a snack at home after. Kind of the opposite of the Morton's rule that every diner should have enough for a doggie bag on the way home. The portions were exceedingly small. The spinach that came with it was kind of funny given that it was a two-ounce portion. The potatoes I didn't know were potatoes. Literally a single bite worth. Looked pretty, but come on, don't crimp on the cheap elements of the meal. \n\nNow the wine list. This really gets me. The highest prices I've seen outside of NYC with a markup of approximately 246 percent per bottle. I judge a restaurant's wine service based on certain bottles that I know and purchase in the store regularly. That's the first thing I do when I look at the wine menu: find a comparison wine or two to gauge the markup. One particular $39 bottle (store) was on the menu for $135. I've rarely seen it above $100 in other restaurants and often at $90 or less. Markup on wine is a particular sin to me, especially at a restaurant that is already somewhat pricey. The wine pricing itself may keep me from returning as it over doubles your entertainment price for just one bottle. We ended up purchasing one bottle of a cheaper wine and split between four people, meaning around 6 ounces a person. It was cheaper to get cocktails. \n\nThose things I mentioned are restaurant decisions bordering on greed. The service was decent. The food tasted good (one person did not like her dinner at all and barely touched it). But the amount of food and price of wine was enough to curtail this review. Hate to leave bad reviews, but sometimes they are deserved.","submittedDateTime":"2024-01-06T15:00:14Z","rating":{"overall":3,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"wswail","isVip":null,"profileColor":"MUSTARD","initials":"w","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":351,"endIndex":359,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"}],"photos":[],"__typename":"Dish"}],"__typename":"PopularDishes"},"__typename":"Restaurant","diningAreas":[{"name":"Other","diningAreaId":1,"description":"Other","tag":"Other","localeMatch":true,"active":true,"preProcessedAreaId":null,"__typename":"DiningAreaMetaData"},{"name":"PATIO","diningAreaId":68963,"description":"PATIO","tag":"Patio","localeMatch":true,"active":true,"preProcessedAreaId":null,"__typename":"DiningAreaMetaData"}],"privateDining":{"hasPrivateDining":false,"hasEnhancedPrivateDining":false,"description":null,"formattedPhone":null,"contact":"","largestCapacity":0,"__typename":"PrivateDining"},"seoTranslations":{"metaTitle":"%(restaurantName)s

This spot was on my list for a while and I finally decided to come here to celebrate a work milestone with my family, and it couldn't have been a better choice. I had reserved a table online and only realized on they way that there is a dress code. My husband was in a tshirt and dickies shorts so I gave the place a call and they said it wouldn't be a problem. We were seated right away. And the thing that was apparent immediately is that the service was going to be genuinely impeccable and it was. The ambience is nice, it's clear they are trying to be just a little bit upscale, the bar area seems to be the spot for the locals.
The menu offers a solid lineup of Italian classics and a nice steak selection. The server walks you through specials as well but tbh I prefer written things and hence rarely order the specials. I had scoped out the wine list ahead of time, but I ended up going for my usual aperol spritz and it was excellent (truth be told I had two).
I went with the risotto which was perfectly cooked. My husband had steak and it absolutely melted in his mouth. The food was really well done.
What really stood out though was the service. The server was so patient with my son! Everything flowed smoothly, dishes and drinks came out at the right time and every interaction was just right. At the end they surprised me with a sweet little congratulatory dessert. It was super cute!
It was an awesome night with great food, and some of the best service I've had in a long time.
