text: Just had dinner here while staying at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge for a conference.  \n\nShort take: overall it was a pleasant and good experience.  I'd come back if I lived in the area and if I didn't mind spending a few bucks.  \n\nDetails: The hostesses and wait staff were great; seated me promptly and were able to engage in some nice small talk to get me comfortable.  The dining area was pleasant.  It has some massive stone columns that break the room into somewhat smaller seating areas, making for a cozier dining experience and also helps to shield from noise.  The seats were comfortable, and the table plenty big for a party of two--unlike some other restaurants that really try to cram you into as small of a footprint as possible.  So far so good.\n\nNow onto the important stuff: the food and pricing.  The food I got was excellent.  The portions, however, are small.  Luckily for me, they surprised me with a bread board and a couple of other things (unexpected dungeness crab salad mini-bite, and end-of-meal white chocolate truffle).  The bread wasn't the usual bread and olive oil dipping sauce that I'm accustomed to getting at lesser restaurants, but a board with three types of warm artisan bread: a cranberry, a plain sourdough, and a nice green olive encrusted bread.  Six slices in total, I ate all of them.  It would have been a little dry normally, but 4 (count 'em, 4) different spreads and dips made them very edible.  They had an olive oil dip, a buttery spread, a tangy blended mayonnaise dip, and some cooked and oiled cored olive topping dish.  It was a delight to mix and match the types of bread with the types of options.  \n\nI started with a caesar salad.  This was pretty good, but you can't really go too far with a caesar.  I've had plenty worse, so I'm sure you get the picture.  I was disappointed by the size though, it was a small soup bowl size (for $10!).  At least there were two fresh anchovies in there.\n\nFor the main entree, I ordered their veal ravioli.  This was delicious.  The skin was just right, the meat was tender.  The sauce was a creamy delight, and there was also a secondary plating of a deep green colored sauce that neither added nor subtracted from the taste or texture of the dish.  What was a little weird was the prosciutto they haphazardly tossed on top of it all.  No complaints though, I chopped that up and it added a little extra kick.  In total there were only about eight 1.5\" square sized ravioli; plumply stuffed, but a couple more would have been nice...  \n\nOne person, no wine, no dessert, no coffee--just iced tea, a salad, and ravioli, and I was up to $41.  I wouldn't have been full without the bread.  If the price was a little lower, say $30-35, I would have given them an extra star.
