The night we dined, 2 of us ordered the shrimp and lemon risotto. The only dish of the night that was a disappointment. Had to send it back the first time. The risotto was hard and not creamy. They redid the dish, but it too ended up bland and lifeless. No salt and pepper on the table, so we had to borrow a set from the serving station. That made it a bit better. Other dishes people enjoyed were the scallops, the lobster and pasta dish and the beef ragu. Soup special, asparagus and crab, was wonderful, as was the bread.

The group dining is responsible for dividing the check themselves. VERY old-school. Even small, basic restaurants can give individual checks. It really spoils the experience. I would have eaten more and had an extra drink if I wasn't worried about other people having to pay for it by dividing the check!! Pretty ridiculous, really...

Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. We will definitely be back! read more Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. We will definitely be back!
