"I wanted to like this place. I Picked Piola for a dinner night and I was embarrassed by the time we left. It is built in a neat old house, on the corner of a residential street, which was kind of cool. The atmosphere was nice but unfortunately the food did not deliver. Tried both specials and neither one was good. I could have easily cooked something better at home. Especially the chilean seabass, which sounded great when described by the waiter but was dry and very basic and a small portion. Not very creative with the flavors. The fish itself was overcooked and tasted like a grocery store frozen aisle item. Furthermore the price for the specials was absurd for what they were serving. The prices of the other items on the menu were all very reasonable (mostly between the $15-20 range), and the specials were not written down anywhere but I wrongly assumed they would be in a similar range, even if at the higher end. I got the bill and they were 37 dollars a plate!! I was disappointed with the meal but even more so when I saw the bill. We also had 2 glasses of wine, which couldn 't have possibly been a full pour. The waiter was attentive, but cold and matter-of-fact The restaurant was nowhere close to full but he seemed to want to rush us out. With the word gardens in the name, I expected more than a covered patio. The only real garden feel was being able to see the neighbor house 's nicely manicured lawn. If the food here impressed me at all, I 'd probably come back."
