I went here last night with the BF. The place had some very good points, but also a lot of points that need improvement. So we got there early for our reservation, but were seated anyway...good point. We were sat at a high top table....but our menus and the wine list were too big to fit on the table, making for awkward shuffling of menus, trying not to knock anything off of the high top table...not the best planning on their part. The place is very loud, as the decor is kind if industrial and all of the sounds bounce around a lot. I got a glass of the riesling and it was very good. The bread they brought out was good, I liked that it was warm and toasted, I wish the oil had more vinegar in it, but it was tasty all the same. I ordered the short ribs and the BF got the capellini. The capellini was actually very good....the sauce had a very robust flavor, even a little spicy and the portion was big. The short ribs were kind of meh. I thought the flavor was fine, but they could be cooked longer. There was a ton of fat still on the ribs (usually it has largely melted away by the time they are served) and although I did NOT have to use a knife, I had to work very hard with my fork to eat them....which should never be the case with braised short rib. The gnocchi that came with the rib, however, was very good.... it was a stuffed gnocchi, which I have never had before. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert and thought that the tiramisu itself was good, very light and airy, but with a lot of espresso flavor, but they plated it with very pretty lines of strawberry sauce and chocolate. The strawberry sauce had a strange flavor....not good, and the bites with it (which were many of them) had a strange flavor from the sauce, I saw the pic on here with the tiramisu in a bowl and the sauces on the side....that would have been the perfect presentation so we could opt out of the strawberry. So anyway, the place had some serious highs (great pasta), but also a lot of lows, which made me feel that it wouldn't be worth the cost to return in the near future.
