When we arrived for our reservation we were told we would have to be out of our table in an hour and 15 minutes. I understand the restaurant being busy on Christmas Eve, but if we were going to be limited to an hour we should have been told when we made the reservations and they required us to put a deposit on the reservation. The music started 15 minutes before our dinner was over and yet we were each charged $3 as a music fee. The food was excellent as usual. However, the experience was way below expectation

I eat here roughly once a week and have enjoyed this restaurant for years. That’s why I was shocked at last nights dinner when the service and food went down drastically. It’s a new waiter so I can excuse it this time but wow… when I asked for grated cheese he went over to the next table (who had finished their meal and left) and grabbed their used bowl of grated cheese and gave it to use… is that even legal? Obviously I ate the eggplant without the grated cheese. Historically the service staff has been excellent. But this guy needs to learn this isn’t a third world country and customers have standards.

Great food, great service with Ceaser. We were next to music so it was a little difficult to talk at the table during dinner.

Always a delicious meal. The Dolce eggplant appetizer is so good. Love the pear pasta purses with Gorgonzola cream sauce. If they have the pistachio cheesecake get it.
