text: I had heard about this place from a few people...all who loved it. I didn't want to review it after my first dinner there because I was sure it was a fluke. After the second visit I realized there wouldn't be a third visit.\n\nThe first time they were short handed in the kitchen. The food took a long time. But it was good, the risotto- fantastic. Also, the service was okay...nothing spectacular but not the worst I've had.\n\nThe second time they were short handed in the front of house. The service was appalling. My water only refilled once...we could never catch our server to get another glass of wine. Only 1 employee...a busboy...showed any desire to be at work. At one point the hostess was chatting with the people at the next table and then showed off her newest tattoo on the shoulder blade. The food was mediocre. Oh and the fabulous risotto? It is only offered with the special.\n\nOh and don't plan on spending less than 2.5 hours for dinner with no dessert.
