Service was knowledgeable but a bit robotic/not personable. The grilled artichokes were good but more asparagus than artichoke on the dish. We ordered both special entrees and they were both very good. The price for the special entree dishes were high ($45 each), however, the portion sizes were good and the dishes were very creative. Warning to not order the Tiramisu. It isn’t really Tiramisu. It comes in a glass coffee mug and looks and tastes nothing like Tiramisu. We took one bite and could not eat anymore. The waitress didn’t notice that we barely touched it or just didn’t care. So, we paid $10.00 for something we did not eat.
