3 /5 L R: The service was truly exceptional, with staff who were attentive and professional. It was easily the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, given the prices, we had much higher expectations for the food and drinks.
We tried several cocktails over the course of the meal, but each one was disappointingly weak and lacked the depth or character we were hoping for.
For starters, we ordered the shrimp dish, which was unimpressive. It was simply shrimp in a tomato sauce, with very little flavor. My main course, the shrimp and scallop pasta, was decent but equally bland.
The dessert followed the same pattern. The tiramisu was soggy and, as with the rest of the meal, it lacked any real flavor.
When we spoke to our server, he mentioned that the menu had not changed in 40 years. That may be part of the problem. The food felt dated and uninspired, as if it had not kept up with evolving tastes or standards. We chose this restaurant because of its great reviews, but I suspect much of the acclaim comes from an earlier time when the food was more vibrant and memorable.
