Alone in a Crowd

If service were the only criteria I would rate it no stars. Even the food brings it only to two stars. After the entree plates were cleared, it was as if we didn't exist. It wasn't just the long wait, it was the total lack of attention. At one point I was considering pretending to leave without paying in order to get their attention so we could pay and go home. Finally.

Great food...sneaky pricing

The location is beautiful and the food delicious...however the solicitous staff offered our table a "chef's antipasto special" without checking our budget or telling us the price. It was over the top and extremely expensive - and left us with a bad taste in our mouths.
