bland food, poor tasting food & service. Tuna Tare Tar $12 With fried angel hair pasta, arugula & spinach dressed in spiced cocktail vinaigrette: WHAT TUNA,WAY TOO MUCH ARUGULA & SPINCH ONLY OVER POWERED BY THE COCKTAIL SAUCE, YUCK BAD COMBO

Margherita $10

Sliced Red Vine Ripened Tomatoes topped with Mozzarella and Basil, finished with Extra Virgin Olive Oil: ALL THSES INGREDIENTS ARE RUINED, SPOILT, UNDONE BY JAR FLAVORED RED SAUCE



Angel Hair Pasta Pomodoro $12

Classic Italian red sauce with garlic, basil and pecorino cheese ALL THSES INGREDIENTS ARE RUINED, SPOILT, UNDONE BY JAR FLAVORED RED SAUCE AGAIN.

The bartenders seem to be more involved in their own goings on then making drinks. Or they impose themselves personally in your experience. I'm not there to hear about your woes, also I'm not there to have you invade my time.

Great food, Generous Portions, Waitstaff off the short bus. Highly recommend making reservations since the place was packed on a Saturday night (we did OpenTable and sat right away). Waited for 15 minutes while the dead-behind-the-eyes waitress walked by our table nervously glancing at us. We finally received our delicious drinks (dirty martini, margarita, wine - all reasonably priced) & some amazing mouth-watering bruschetta - freshest tomatoes drizzled with balsamic reduction, I was drooling. But before we were half way done the entrees arrived - little to no apology from said waitstaff. Thankfully our meals were 1000x better than the service. One friend ordered 2 huge pork chops that Fred Flintstone would appreciate, cooked to perfection; the other ordered the HUGE baked penne - also delicious. I ordered the swordfish with risotto - so great that I forgot about how badly I wanted another martini. Definitely recommended for excellent food and drinks - but maybe on a weeknight the service will be better if it's not as busy.

Excellent Quality and Portions!!!. The customer service was great and the food prepared very well. The wait staff made sure to answer all questions and was very attentive. I was with a group of 10 and every person felt as though the waiter was helping only them. You should go with a hearty appetite because you do want to tatse something from each course.

Real Food, Done exceptionally well. You will not be disappointed. Beautifully written menu's. Great entrance and greetings. Rich and comfortable decor. Friendly waitstaff. and above superb food. I do not believe these people missed a step. It was perfect from beginning to the end. This is very hard to find. Especially from someone that is in the business.

Amazing ahi tuna. Very satisfied of my experience (and when I eat out of New York City I can hardly say so). I am definitely a meat person but walking in this restaurant I took a good look at the fish dishes on other guests tables and they looked pretty good so I tried.

Both the tuna tartar and the seared ahi tuna were extremely good but my friend's filet mignon was just mouthwatering.

The staff was also very friendly and the wine was well priced.

Too bad I live in New York where almost everything is over priced...
