Went to this place for the first time but never again. We got a soda a piece. We were charged 3.25 each for cans of soda (with refills that is over 13.00). No one said adding cheese to a salad was going to be 2 dollars extra. Another hidden fee. My husband asked for blue cheese dressing. He got blue cheese crumbles with a vinaigrette dressing abs the hidden 2 dollar fee. Then the main course came. As you can see by the picture, this is a 20 dollar bowl of gnocchi with a creamed tomato soup (the Campbell’s soup flavoring is strong) which they mixed with spaghetti sauce. I’ve had better MRE’s in the military.

I reviewed their menu online and placed my order over the phone. The first issue I had was a pretty large discrepancy in their online menu vs their current pricing. Online my total for two meals was about $46. When I actuality placed my order it was $78. When that concern was brought up, it was essentially dismissed stating the pricing online was several years old. I ordered the 16oz grilled Ribeye and the stuffed chicken. The chicken was fine and cooked well. The ribeye however was not. It was suppose to be medium well but it was definitely over cooked and charred. When we called to complain, they offered to remake the order, but I was not inclined to drive back to pickup a replacement. No apology was offered or any alternate resolution. Not a great experience. The place itself is wonderfully decorated and has a very nice and romantic feel, however my customer experience did not match the visual ambiance.

The price was a little higher than we wanted, and the walk from our Metra was a stretch. But we were looking for an adventure and we found it. Interesting homey atmosphere, although the third and fourth covers of "La Donna e Mobile" on the music were a bit much. She had a pumpkin ravioli and loved it. I had a sausage rigatoni. We walked back to our car pleasantly full.
