Heightened expectations without follow through 6/28/2009

We were eager to try this highly publicized establishment run by a Top Chef. The selection was very good and we happily over-ordered to sample as many things as possible. This included three seafood apps, a caprese salad, 3 side pastas, a risotto special, and a filet to include a meat. Sadly, though, out of all the dishes, we were only pleased with two of the apps and the gnocchi (real good!). Semi-disappointed that we didn't go away with more memories of any unique flavors -- the risotto special had a greasy deep-fried soft-shelled crab on top (huh?), and the desserts as indicated above, leave you with a very unsatisfied finish. All told, it is slightly above average at a reasonable cost, but I would not recommend this as a place for someone to specifically go out of their way to eat at. Pros: Spacious, good service, gnocchi was great Cons: Lack of signature dishes, desserts are very below average more
