"We went here on a whim because the P.F. Chang's next door was completely full and I don't regret it. The service was wonderful, the food was yummy, and it was really pretty inside. It's a nice place for a date night and I'm glad we tried it. We weren't the biggest fans of the crispy ravioli, but the free bread was amazing. My boyfriend loved the alfredo and I enjoyed the shrimp scampi. I got the berry lemonade and I felt really bad because the waiter had to bring out a pitcher to refill it instead of just grabbing a new glass/taking it back for a refill every time, but that isn't a real complaint. I'm just not used to that. It was really good lemonade though and I did like watching him pour the syrup in the glass, but I felt bad for making it seem tedious. As for dessert, I'm a huge fan of tirimisu and it was pretty tasty, but I'll also eat any tirimisu without complaining. I like it more than a few other restaurants I've been to. They were out of calamari and creme brulee which we had both been hoping to try, but it was an unexpected stop late on a Saturday, so I'm not surprised they ran out of what I assume are popular items. That's not something to get mad about anyways. I'd definitely go back and try new things here. They have a nice range of items without being overwhelming. I 100% prefer this to Olive Garden. I have rambled in this review too long. Just know that it was good and I would go back there. Free bread is my love language and pasta is life. "

"It 's not technically a secret menu item, but you need to let them know ahead of time (by at least a few days) if you want to order the Beef Wellington. You might assume that this means it is of a quality that is uniquely exquisite, and I can assure you that this assumption is 100% correct. This dish is literally made in part by a pastry-chef, and the moment you take a bite of the absurdly-delicate shell of I-don 't-even-know-what, you 'll understand why you have to arrange for this sort of treatment: it 's like an opera in your mouth. Underneath that mantle of what I assume is an elevated form of dough reserved for the better seats in heaven, there is a mushroom duxelle that I 'm quite certain would qualify for the dictionary entry if you were to look up the word unctious. Then, the filet. Is there an adequate word in the English language for a perfect medium-rare steak? The best part is that you actually have to be reminded that you 're eating an exquisite piece of beef underneath all of these charms, and it 's only responsible to forewarn you that dipping it in the au jus with which it 's served might just awaken you to a level of luxury you will struggle to equal in other establishments. I won 't even mention how good the wagyu-truffle ravioli was, or how their wedge-salad is served with fully a 3 oz triangle of delicately veined roquefort (bleu cheese) and bacon-bits made of *actual, perfectly cured smoky bits of bacon*. Point being: if you eat meat, this is something you should put on your bucket list. You 're not going to find a better meal anytime soon, after all. 10/10, would recommend."
