"We were greeted and sat at our table, and our waiter Christiano came over to greet us. He was good with pacing and checking in. We ordered the muscles, but sadly only about half had opened. The ones that didn’t open are unsafe to eat. We mentioned this and they discounted them, but it would have been better if they’d been comped. Or that we’d received what we ordered. The butter sauce was delicious. My husband ordered the short rib ragu. It was quite delicious. I had the slow roasted pork with kale. The meat was tender and flavorful, but the kale tasted like pure smoke. It was not edible. I advised our waiter and he brought over a bowl and had me place some of the kale in the bowl to take back to the chef. I told him it reeked of smoke. He returned a bit later to say that the recipe was quite “acidic “ today and then gave me a discount of my entree. By that time I had already finished the pork so I declined an alternate side. It was just really kind of a mess. It was not the waiter’s fault. He was very nice and polite, but the kitchen could be improved. If someone had looked at the mussels or tasted the kale, they could have prevented any issues. It was our wedding anniversary so we were a little bummed that experience wasn’t better."
