12-18-2023 07:08The location and the view are amazing. This encouraged my husband to book a table for my birthday dinner last Tuesday. Unfortunately, there is nothing else I can praise. All the food was sub-par (Italian is hard to spoil but they managed to do it), both in the taste and the presentation. Many casual Italian restaurants without the price tag do it much better. The service was ok, neither good nor bad. Our waitress poured us tap water straight away without asking whether we would like sparkling. A glass of wine is $20 (?) but another waitress we asked about a specific wine on the menu didn’t have much to say. My birthday wasn’t acknowledged, though this is optional and I wouldn’t mention it if everything else was great. We finished our uninteresting starters and mains and left asap, not wanting to risk ordering desserts. Last but not least, I am pretty sure the seafood in my linguine was not fresh and as a result I was sick during the night and the following day. I recommend to avoid this place, or at least not to visit for a special occasion expecting a (positively) memorable time. Needless to say, I will avoid it myself.
