This restaurant is recommended in all the guidebooks and got a flattering write-up in the wine spectator, but don't waste your time or money on this one. They don't care about you there at all, and make no pretense about hiding it.
This was to be our big splurge night for dinner, and we had asked our hotel concierge to make reservations for us months in advance, but when we got there they sat us at what they called a "social table" for 6 and wouldn't put us someplace else after we requested.
All the dinner entrees are price fixed at about $30 each, and unfortunately, none of them appealed to me (which never happened to me before!) so I told the waitress I would just have 2 first courses (the pasta-soup course), but she wouldn't let me. They basically made me order something I didn't want, and when it came it was dried out and inedible.
Instead of apologizing and offering to get me something else, the owner came over without a word and dropped off a meatball on a plate for me to eat. Just one meatball on a big plate-no kidding.
Anyway, would you believe they charged us for my meal?
Don't waste your time or your money on this arrogant place, so many fabulous places to eat in this city!
