The price doesn’t match the quality of food that was served. The lamb was cold, everything was tiny portions, our server was awkward and and didn’t make us feel welcome, there was a long pause before we even got to order. We appreciate the cooking staff for accommodating our allergies though. Wouldn’t come back though, the owner seemed like a nice man, going around to other tables to chat. Completely looked us over.

Made 6:30p reservation, showed up, sat down, ordered bottled water (water and bread person) Waited, waited, waited. Never saw a waiter, manager even asked another person if we had been waited on. No one, no one, waited, waited. Asked for the check for the bottled water, that never came, someone said Nevermind we will take care of the water. We left. You can guess our experience was not good.

Always a great dining experience. Nino is the consummate host. Never order from a Restaurant Week menu but was surprised to see many interesting items being offered for RW prices. Osso bucco ($10 supplement) was an enormous serving. Tuna "tartare" was one of the best I have eaten -- beautiful little rubies whose flavor was not overwhelmed by dressing etc. Again, tiramisu is a dessert I usually avoid, but ODN's was especially flavorful. Just a delightful Sunday night dinner.

It was restaurant week and the food was delicious. It was a great value. The staff is outstanding and of course a visit from the man himself Nino is an added bonus to every meal at this great resturant.
