Really good food and drink menu with interesting choices. Dim, intimate setting but it was extremely loud while we were there. It is in an older building so I assume the acoustics are bad. Our server was great, and I would definitely visit again. I would recommend reservations. We had one and still had to wait about ten minutes.

Saturday night, very busy and loud for a dinner in the dining area, away from bar. Although the appetizers and entrees were very good, the amount of pasta was too much, each person in our part of 6 could not eat half of their entree. A better and healthier approach would be less and keep the quality. We would have liked to try some of the dessert options and coffee or espresso, however none of us could eat anything else. overall a good spot for a drink and some appetizers (stuffed mushroom with marsala was delicious!)

Went out for a birthday dinner for wife. Six people at table. Food and service was good, but 2 minutes after receiving check and settling up the hostess came over and asked us to get up because they needed the table. I understand the place was busy, but ink on the receipt wasn’t even dry yet and they are asking us to get up. After a $770 bill including Tip, it was very rude to basically kick us out. Won’t need to worry about that happening again.

Great food, surprisingly large portions. I had the red beans and rice with spicy sausage and the spice level was nicely balanced and completely appropriate to the dish. Others had various kinds of fish, really interesting preparations, all properly done.

Inconsistent Quality – A Real Mixed Bag

While I had high hopes, my visit was an unpredictable game of chance. The dishes were either fantastic or frankly disappointing. The best dish was easily the grilled asparagus wrapped in salmon, which was delicious thanks to its perfect dressing. The pan-seared halibut was also excellent. On the flip side, the margherita focaccia was a letdown (more like flatbread), and the sesame tuna main course was flat and severely lacking in flavor.

What more can you say about this place? It's been around forever for a reason. Food is excellent service is great. It's like any other fine dining establishment, plan to spend about 100 per person with tip.

I’ve been dining there for decades. Unfortunately they removed the filet tornados dish which was the best item on the menu.

skip this place and go across the street to roseland atlas! the welcoming staff at this place is sad and not welcoming. you don’t even need to experience anything else. diagonally across the street is roseland, which has an absolutely stunning patio and such kind people — staff and patrons alike!

Really great dining experience, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was cozy. They accommodated for my gluten free family members really easily and the desert is good too!
