Excellent service

by Klr1982 at Citysearch

Saturday night my husband and I were looking for a nice restaurant where we could enjoy a fine bottle of wine and some delicious food. We had this darling server, she reccommended the bottle of cabernet which we purchased and absolutely LOVED, she had an extensive knowledge about Celani wines, my husband and I were impressed. She also encouraged us to try some of the new items on the menu, I got the Filet mignon with portabella mushrooms and shrimp and my husband got a veal dish, everything was incridible. Since we had never dined there before, the manager came up to us during dinner and asked how everything was and made sure we were enjoying our night. She was very welcoming as well. Anyways, I couldnt rave about this place anymore! The best andiamo experiance we've ever had.

• Pros: excellent service, delicious food!
• Cons: difficult to find if you dont know the area

NOT SO ITALIAN

SERVICE WAS GOOD, APPETIZER WAS GOOD, FETTUCINE ALFREDO WAS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN, RAGU MAKES A BETTER SAUCE. IT WAS SIMPLY $20 HARD EGG NOODLES IN SOUPY MILK. AVOID THIS DISH!

Wine knowledge

First would like to state the we are Millie Grazie member. So we dine frequently, but not on this night. This past Wed my girlfriend, and I wanted to enjoy ourselves for her birthday. As we took our seats at the bar the bartender greeted us in a very timely fashion. Now the snow ball starts. We asked the bartender for their wine list, and on this night it was a "select wine list"(which in short, it was mostly bad french wines along with wines that are trying to get rid of). After reviewing the list we dicided to make our choice between two. Well the bartender did not have any knowledge of either of them other then "they seem to move". She then quickly called over one of the waiters to give some knowledge on the select wines. So we made a choice, and had to wait to see if they had any left(which means someone had to go up stairs to look for our selection). Ten minutes later we needed to make a different choice. Ten minutes later we again had to make a different choice. So after looking the list over(in frustration) we decided to go else where. Here one thing that might have made it a little better. Next time maybe offer a similar bottle from the full list.

• Pros: Overall they have a good wine list
• Cons: Some of the wait staff need some knowledge of their menu/wine
