We went to eat there this past Friday for the GF's birthday. I had high expectations, none of which were met. First, we could hear the conversations from both tables adjacent to us, which was very distracting. In fact, my girlfriend even continued a conversation based on what she had heard from one of the tables, saying, "oh that reminds me...." Everything else in terms of ambience was great. None of the servers or wine specialist had what I'd say an enthusiasm over the food or wine list, so asking for recommendations was unreliable. The lamb that I ordered was cooked Pittsburgh medium rare. Between the charred flavor, the asian fused flavors and the arugula that came with it, I couldn't find the flavor of the lamb (the only reason I order lamb), which was mostly fat and left me hungry even after desert. My GF's sea bass was over cooked which left only half of what could have been a great meal left to be eaten. But, I'll say the table next to us ordered the same and it looked great, it's just too bad those people had to be such a big part of our meal.
