However, upon arriving promptly for our reservation which we were clearly instructed would only be held for fifteen minutes doors were shut and we waited along with several other customers outside on a windy sidewalk until sometime after the five o'clock reservation. Not a good start! However our server was helpful and the menu, while small, was interesting as was the extensive and expensive wine list. Our meal was indeed excellent, the cooking was first quality. However music was loud, tables very close together and finally no de caffeinated coffee available. The meal was expensive . On reflection, our disappointment was the result of the important elements of welcome being overlooked.

Although the food was excellent, it was very overpriced. $16 for a 6oz strawberry bellini is outrageous!! The food menu prices weren't any better. $35 for 2 small pieces of chicken and condiments, not a good value.We were expecting a more elegant and comfortable atmosphere and was surprised at how underwhelming the decor and furniture was. Sitting on a plastic chair that was coming apart is not my idea of relaxing or a comfortable atmosphere. The tables are so close together you can't help but overhear your neighbors conversations and they yours; and when you need to get up to use the washrooms or leave, good luck getting up without disturbing your neighbor.The service was pretty darn good and I was quite surprised when our server offered to go next door to see if she could get me a lime for my gin and tonic. I declined but that was pretty outstanding in my book!
