output: Went to this restaurant on 11/15/2012 at 6:05pm. Did not have the oysters on happy hour so my review will not be swayed by this like everyone else's has. First of all the service started off by two seemingly capable waiters coming over and introducing themselves. While the restaurant was not busy at that time they somewhat obtrusively hovered about 5 feet away, multiple times asking us if we were ready to order. We finally had to tell them that we would let them know when we were ready. After that, service was fine until the place had many more customers then it was hit or miss getting their attention. But they were by far not the most disappointing experience of the evening so that is why I generously gave them 1 star. On the other hand the food was not even worthy of a dive bar. The Classic Caesar salad, $9.90, was chopped romaine with a salad dressing that wouldn't even be served out of a bottle (maybe it was but who knows). It had no real flavor of Caesar dressing and they should be ashamed of serving it. Next in line was the 18oz. bone-in Delmonico Ribeye for $44.90 which two of us had. When it came it was about 3/4 of an inch thick and clearly not weighing more than 12-14 ounces. It was also as limp as a wet noodle with an outside that was barely showing any grill marks (I guess because it was so thin and I ordered it medium rare they couldn't leave it on the grill long enough to give it some grill flavor). We didn't know yet that the small size would be a blessing. With our serrated knives we then began the arduous process of cutting into this miserable waste of beef. The excessive amount of cartilage and fat made the task of finding an edible piece of beef like a treasure hunt. After it was all said and done I would estimate between the small size, the bone, the fat and cartilage we probably salvaged 6 ounces of edible beef (now you see why we were glad of its size). And this is what we payed almost $90 for a combined 12 ounces of beef. Now I can understand a steak going out every now and then that may not meet expectations but for two of them to go to the same table and be equally bad is not an oversight. I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody but if you do go and are planning of having one of their $45 ribeyes, bring a saw because the serrated knife didn't make the cut.

output: The bread was blase, but the vegetables were among the best as well as the salmon and then the tiramisu was the best I've ever had, they make it on site. The service was over the top, the atmosphere is light and airy, the menu is veal heavy and I loved my experience here. There was a nice gentleman playing piano and lots of wait staff. My only niggle....one of the wait persons was wearing too strong a cologne and the bread could be a lot better very easily. I will definitely go again.

I purchased a ring there in Feb 2014 was told it was diamond chips and garnets. Went to have it appraised this week and it is not diamond chips. Just got of the phone with the owner who is the most rude and insulting person I have spoken to in a long time!! After, I explained my side...he began yelling me, calling me stupid, making it clear he wasn't going to reimburse me and hung up on me. Really!!??!!
