We were there to celebrate both of our husband's birthdays. When we arrived the restaurant was virtually empty. The waiter was clumsy and apparently inexperienced - not only in the way he avoided eye contact, but in the awkward way he removed plates across the table, etc. Bread was brought out but when we asked for more, 3 pieces came out in the basket for a party of 4. The salad was the only excellent thing that we had. My husband's osso bucco was stringy, chewy and tasteless as was my branzino fish dish which is very hard to ruin! Our friends each ordered the veal chop parm special that was dry and not tasty. Our bill came to over $225! 2 of us each had a glass of wine--outrageous for what we got. Overpriced and terrible quality food. Our local Dominics food is far superior to what we were served here! Spend your money elsewhere - this is a bust, sorry to say.
