text: Our groups reservation was made a comfortable two days before our visit nThe evening was already soured when our hostess rudely broke her centimeterthick temper Our group of five asked to be seated in the main restaurant and not the small triangle room completely separated and across the hotel hallway The hostess then told us that they only have two tables in the entire restaurant that can accommodate people We were then seated in the wine cellar beneath the hotel escalators First encounter with a restaurant should not be a poor mannered hostess Ambience was off putting as music choice was loud and inappropriate for an Italian steakhouse that only offers very few bottles of red wine under nnHowevernnOur waiter and sommelier were very kind and very knowledgable of the menu and wine list Major props to them when asked about wine pairings for a crab and white truffle sformato they were able to offer great educated choices we ended up pairing the dish with a heavy Chardonnay which though wildly overpriced worked well Other notes on the foodnnEverything was overpriced so I will not mention it in every descriptionnnPorterhouse Steak MR not sure what happened here the cut more resembled venison as it tasted unusually gamy nnFilet Mignon MR my order very tasty great portion well cooked and cut like butter nnnBeet Carpaccio lots of flavors fun presentation very light very small portion nnPastas we ordered two pastas which were both relatively underwhelming though very fresh mostly poor meal pairing on our part I supposennDesserts light and tasty no flavor complaintsnnIn general everything was very harsh on the palate which made building our meal in threecourse form as the restaurant suggested difficult There were some pleasant notes in the evening but overall we were underwhelmed and unimpressed
