"TLDR: AVOID the valet service like the plague! Lots of misses in this restaurant, but when you find a good dish it's really good. Order wisely! Overall rating: B- We made a reservation for 8 people for Sunday at 1pm via OpenTable. They advertise valet parking outside but actually finding/getting anyone to help you with your car is a NIGHTMARE. Twice when dropping off the car AND picking up the car, the valet looked my friend in the face and walked away! Both times I needed to go back into the restaurant to ask for the valet. My friend basically parked the car herself. All we needed was to give and get the key from a surly employee! If we didn't have someone with difficulties walking in our group we would've definitely parked further away to avoid this nonsense! The ambiance was pretty nice. Some of the food was better than others. Here's the break down: APPETIZERS: -Complimentary mixed bread basket and assorted olives: Delicious! A+ -Octopus special: I personally found this kind of fishy. Everyone else loved it. B- -Whole artichoke: It was just ok. I didn't find it particularly special. The breadcrumbs weren't crispy. B -Burrata special with roasted red peppers and asparagus over polenta: You can't go wrong with burrata. The vegetables were good. The polenta was forgettable. B+ -Mixed sauteed mushrooms: They tasted like mushrooms. Nothing special. B -Calamari with marinara: I really liked this. Others thought it tasted frozen. To each their own! A- ENTREES: -Lamb shank osso bucco over risotto special: I was really surprised how good this was! It wasn't a traditional osso bucco (cut thinly across the bone . It was a nicely braised whole lamb shank! I just wish they hadn't smothered the risotto in the lamb sauce. It was a good sauce but a bit salty. I just really wanted to taste the cheesy goodness of the risotto more. Best dish of the night! My friend who ordered the same thing agreed! A Here's what the others in my group ordered for their entrees. I didn't taste these myself so I can't rate them: -Swordfish special -Pappardelle with beef Bolognese -Squid ink pasta with mixed seafood special -Veal parmegiana with spaghetti -Whole dover sole fileted and plated tableside, option for sauce on the side -Scallops over risotto Everyone seemed to like their entrees EXCEPT for the swordfish, which was described as dry and not particularly fresh. DESSERTS: -Tiramisu: Excellent tiramisu. A -Cannolis: Wow actually damn good cannolis. You get 2 small ones per order. A+ -Coffee poured tableside: It was perfectly fine. B Lots of misses in this restaurant, but when you find a good dish it's really good. Order wisely! We'll probably come back since not many places in the area can accommodate last minute groups of 8 people. (No milk alternatives if that's your thing!"
