We ate here for a birthday party 8 people. Everyone was so excited because there is so much hype about this place... I was not impressed, actually disappointed. The only thing hyped up were the prices. The place was very busy, which is fine for an Italian restaurant if you want atmosphere, but the servers seemed rushed and we had to flag down waiters. After several of them stopping by, I did not know who my main waiter was - average service - not what you expect for the upscale prices. Maybe it was because we had a larger party, however, I still saw the waiters buzzing by all the time and in a small place it was disconcerting. The food was very salty. Too much for my taste. Believe me I love flavor, but not only salt. Signature steak, oh so very average. The waiter put too much dressing on my salad (and I usually like a lot of dressing), a definite no no for a fine dining restaurant. If I'm going to pay that much for a salad I'd like to eat it, too. We were lucky because we had several people at our table and could taste the different dishes. The ONLY one I liked was the ravioli, but it too was a little on the salty side. Luckily, it was only an appetizer so I only had to eat a few. Wondering if I was in a bad food mood. I asked my wife if it was only me. With a frown she said we are not coming back... empty wallet, not so happy stomach.
