Food good, service very good. Took in excess of 30 minutes from the time the order was placed until served. Ordered pizza with white sauce, it came with red sauce.

We enjoyed a nice, leisurely meal before a show at the Folly Theater. The chicken parm was very good. The tiramisu was excellent! The servers were charming, and the service was efficient. We will definitely return.

We made a reservation here for dinner since we were staying at Hotel Phillips. It was my husband and I’s first overnight away since our son was born and given the menu prices and online photos we had high expectations. The table we were seated at wasn’t very clean. I wore a white dress and needed to wipe away my own seat to not get it dirty. We’d looked at the menu online before coming so we’d know what we wanted ahead of time. The menu in the restaurant was much smaller than online. They don’t have the build your own pasta menu page at all. Ok…so we ordered the next thing we wanted, KC Strip Oscar Supreme ($68). They were out of the Hollandaise. Ordered the next thing we wanted, Arrabiata squid ink pasta ($42). It came out with shrimp…but no Maine lobster claw like the menu showed. We had to figure out that mistake ourself, no one was forthcoming about the fact that they were out of lobster claw. At this point we were very soured and disappointed that this really special night away was starting this way. We paid for our drink & appetizer and went somewhere else. We will not be returning.

I was really hoping I would like this place but it was just not. When someone finally waited on us….we did have great cocktails. That was a plus! They were out of meatballs…which is very odd being an Italian restaurant. The carbonara was good, but it was very, very salty. Wine was nice, but overpriced by the glass. Unfortunately not worth going back! Downtown has way better restaurants, especially for the cost. 2 cocktails, 2 meals, 2 wine = 150 before tip.

Ordered bottle of wine 1st thing, took 20 minutes to get it. Ordered steak and lobster, 30 minutes later was told steak on grill, no lobster. Substituted for lobster, steak was over cooked and only warm-ish. Was provided price adjustment, but would rather had good steak. I think they are understaffed.

The food was delicious, and the ambiance was nice. The service, however, was subpar. I've worked in the industry, and I know it can make or break an experience, especially in a fine dining atmosphere.
