I love Mario Batali on Food Network and had very high expectations of his restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn't meat those expectations. \n\nDecor: very nice, beautiful setting, and pleasant environment. \n\nWhen we first arrived here we sat at the bar for some wine before getting seated for dinner. The bartender was very nice and had some very good recommendations for wine. At this point, so far so good! \n\nBut then my food arrived....\n\nI ordered the braised pork and there was only one word that could describe it: dry. Oddly enough I seen potential in the meal... So I'm thinking either I happened to be unlucky that day and received an over cooked meal or thats just the way it comes. But the flavors are definitely there, however, the texture could have been A LOT better.\n\nI recommend this place for wine. \n\nAnd as of right now, the food is only average in my opinion. I may give Mario Batali a second chance at another restaurant of his.
