This New York Italian restaurant with supper club vibes was packed on a Saturday night. Ambience was as expected, very good, and food was on point as usual. Two dings: 1. OpenTable states they have valet parking but when we arrived we found out they no longer do. Parking two blocks away was not on my bingo card. 2. Ordered a martini that never came - I guess on the bright side I saved $20.
We had a wonderful time celebrating our 57th anniversary. The ambiance was old La Jolla. The Caesar Salad prepared at our table was just right. We both had Veal Oscar perfect. Topped off with cherries jubilee which you hardly can get anymore. We love this place.
Food and service was fantastic. Our server was great and took care of us. He was funny and made sure we had everything we needed.
