   My partners and I go here every weds night for dinner. As always, this week was spectacular with a twist. The block lost power due to the storm that day just as desert was coming out. The management and staff handled themselves and the situation professionally as we sat by candlelight eating our desert. I know it was stressful for the staff, but it was actually a very nice atmosphere at the table. Kudos to all!

   Met friends for a Christmas luncheon. Great choice. Nice ambiance, not too noisy, a little high class, but not too much. Food was excellent, presented beautifully. 3 of us got the luncheon 3 course special, and we were all happy with our meals. My cannoli dessert was delicious.

   Overall great experience. The staff was friendly even wished my fiancee a happy birthday each time they met her. There were a few hiccups as to why I could not rate 5 stars. First was our steaks were over cooked not destroyed however at $50 for a ribeye the cook should know med rare from med well. The homemade steak sauce that was touted on the menu was lack luster. The other reason was we ordered a bottle of wine that was listed at $45 and charged $60. Normally I wouldn't have even noticed however I decided to take the customer copy as a momento of the occasion. When I reviewed it I noticed the error. Not a huge deal but still put a bitter taste in my mind. The decor was classy and tasteful. The acoustics were not good and was very loud and it wasn't a rowdy crowd either. Good time enjoyed it didn't feel that there was enough value in the food which all was good but nothing wowed us. As more upscale restaurant I would expect more. Edit: This says alot about an establishment. After my review was posted the restaurant read it and not only responded but did so in such a professional way that really did make me feel better. I recieved a voice mail as the call came while I was at work from Emelia. She did in fact remember us and having wished my fiancee a happy birthday. She apologized for the over sight of the over charging of the bottle of wine. Yes I do believe it was simply missed in rephrasing of proces in computer and not done maliciously. She stated that the difference would be reversed on my card. And also said how they do appreciate the honest feedback. I really appreciate this gesture and also no long drawn out excuses the over charge was a simple mistake. The kitchen well it didn't get brought up and I believe rightfully so and appreciate that excuse wasn't thrown out. Mistakes happen and I have a feeling that management will address the issue in their own way. And thank you for not asking me to change my review instead I added this note.

   Food and service was exceptional. Four of us shared three appetizers which were perfect. All of our meals came out at the same time, which is much appreciated, and were very generous portions. We then shared one dessert-because, again, the portions were huge.
