text: I love Mario Batali on Food Network and had very high expectations of his restaurant Unfortunately the restaurant did not meat those expectations nnDecor very nice beautiful setting and pleasant environment nnWhen we first arrived here we sat at the bar for some wine before getting seated for dinner The bartender was very nice and had some very good recommendations for wine At this point so far so good nnBut then my food arrivednnI ordered the braised pork and there was only one word that could describe it dry Oddly enough I seen potential in the meal So I am thinking either I happened to be unlucky that day and received an over cooked meal or that is just the way it comes But the flavors are definitely there however the texture could have been A LOT betternnI recommend this place for wine nnAnd as of right now the food is only average in my opinion I may give Mario Batali a second chance at another restaurant of his
