text: The atmosphere of this place is great However the food is average at best I would have have given the place four stars and the food two stars hence the three star ratingnnThe view and out door patio are terrific They had a nice wine selection and the Riesling was delish The staff is excellent in every aspect But I found myself wishing the food was just a bit better They give you bread sticks in a paper bag before your meal with olive oil and balsamic for dipping Yes this is cute and the bread stayed warm but it did not taste fresh or house made I had a Caesar salad which was pretty good and definitely a large portion for a dinner saladnnFor the main course I had capellini pomodoro It was okay Nothing to write home about I think they used canned tomatoes It was a huge portion and I do not think I even ate half of it My husband ordered the ribeye steak and shrimp special which I of course sampled The steak was covered in a peppercorn sauce The sauce itself was good but too heavy and not necessary on a good steak Plus the sauce looked like it sat on top of the steak for awhile and had slightly congealed He loved the shrimp It came with au gratin potatoes which looked more like mashed potatoes au gratin style They tasted okay but perhaps they were a day old This time we did not have dessertnnI was craving pasta primavera with fresh vegetables and they did not have that option on the menu Before we completely write this place off I am definitely going back to try a different dish and dessert It really is a lovely restaurant I want the food to live up to the staffs service and the perfect view of the city
