Staff was attentive and professional. My drink was quite good. The food however, was a bit of a let down. Firstly, significantly less was available than their online menu suggested. Then when the food we did order came out the aglio e olio was bland, barely better than unseasoned pasta in some of the water it was cooked in. The salmon was good but not up to the reputation (or price) of the restaurant. And the fries were painfully marred by the inclusion of truffle (this is mostly opinion I understand but I'm growing tired of seeing things over priced because foul smelling fungal leavings have been tuned in them). The brick chicken, thankfully, was actually very well done. The meter lemon risotto was fresh and clean in flavor ( though I feel it was a bit rushed, the rice was slightly underdone, but that lines up with my tastes so I did not mind), the texture and flavor on the bird itself was near perfect, a delightful crunch over tender meat. And the black garlic puree managed to be elegant and not over powering. I am glad to have tried their menu but overall it did not live up to the expectations set.
