    Wonderful meal. The pastas are unique and very delicious. Beautiful, modern, yet elegant room, with the most comfortable restaurant chairs in the city. Also need to mention service was perfect.

    The food was superb and menu was surprisingly interesting - each of three courses was excellent. Service was gracious and accommodating. Tables could be farther apart - my only complaint. But this has become one of our favorite restaurants.

    At more than double the regular menu price this was a very disappointing experience particularly since there was nothing special for New Year’s Eve, except the exorbitant price of the dinner. The service was mediocre at best. It seemed rushed for no apparent reason. We won’t be coming back.
