I took my husband here last week for a romantic dinner, and it was perfect. I made a 5:30 reservation. When we arrived the place was empty except for 2 people at the bar, and we were seated at the only window seat, which was absolutely great. We had plenty of attention since we were the only ones there for a little while so we looked through all our options and asked many questions. We like having a variety of food and we like to share, so our server helped us pick our dinner and made a great wine suggestion based on our tastes. I chose the 4-course menu and my husband added an appetizer and an entree. We started with cocktails and the calamari and my appetizer (can't remember exactly - it was chicken on a crispy bread). We wanted muscles but they were out. I don't remember my cocktail and honestly I'd go without it next time. The calamari was okay but nothing great in my opinion - the batter did not have much crispiness to it and the aioli and vinegar were good but... eh. The appetizer with my 4-course was awesome, though. I didn't really want to share with him :) We split my pesto gnocchi which was also moderately good (but we devoured). Then we received our entrees - he had chicken on a bed of cheesy polenta, and I had cod on a bed of potatoes. They were amazing. We like to eat out and my husband said he had had plenty of good dinners but this was the best he'd had in a long time. I have never heard him moan over his food like that! The combo of chicken and polenta was truly fantastic. I liked my cod but my potatoes were the best. We literally cleaned our plates. And then we finished with banana bread pudding (SO good) with a side of chocolate gelato.
We must've been there for two hours and after a while the place filled up. We loved our seat and realized it's good to get there early. Overall it felt very romatic - we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We will be coming back soon, and we will be bringing friends and family.
Pros: Amazing fresh,local cuisine; service; parking; changing menu
Cons: Some cocktails... not much else
