The three stars are for some of the best wait staff I've been helped by, great appetizers (and some of the best French onion soup I'veever had), good dessert and very well-made drinks. Unfortunately, the entree I got was very strange and disappointing. Theseafood scampi (which was mussels, shrimp, scallops and lobster on fettuccine) was smothered in a very odd, thick, starchy,salty substance which was not reminiscent of any scampi I've ever had. It was more like phlegm, had a very worrying smell andflavor (I was worried it was off), and was not enjoyable. Next time I will get a steak and hopefully that will make for a 5-starevening.
