"The food had good flavors, but the pasta was way under done. I understand that it’s fresh and they lean toward al dente, but my food was like chewing starchy gum. They did replace it (after waiting another 30 minutes) Value: not there. It’s fast casual pasta for upscale prices. Even for midtown. The way they price their wine is insane. Service: fantastic. Dawson was a bright spot for our evening. Customer flow: lol. They don’t utilize their space well. You have to fight to get inside and they were understaffed at the host desk. Overall, I would spend $10-$20 more per person for a more intimate experience. We spent $150 between 2 people for a mediocre night."
