"There was only one thing that bothered me about this restaurant. We were only 2 for dinner and they automatically placed a 20% gratuity on our bill. We probably would have left the same tip. I have never had this on a tab for 2 people in any other restaurants of the same caliber."

"Our first 2 experiences at this restaurant were disappointing --- limited menu & mediocre food. But we decided to give it one more chance (lured in by the 30% discount after 8:30). This time it was excellent. Many menu choices and food so delicious we can't wait to go back. The eggplant appetizer is sensational and the veal with radicchio & arugula special was outstanding."
