We were rushed. The service staff was more concerned with getting my table out and ready for the next group. We asked 3 times for more bread. It finally came with our entrees. My wine glass remained empty even though there was a bottle at my table. The host who brought the bottle over from the bar when we finally were seated clearly saw that my glass was empty and just put the bottle on the table. I expect the wait staff to pour in a restaurant like this. My salad was over dressed. The diver scallops had too many flavors going on at once. The beat side dish was fair and the ramps were tough difficult to cut and chewy.The gelato was a let down. One was bitter, one was waxy, one was okay, but store bought is better. One guest had the meat loaf which was delicious. Prices are fair; wine was fine but this is yet another restaurant that is more hype than substance in my opinion. I don't know if I would give it a second chance. I was not terribly impressed. We were rushed. The service staff was more concerned with getting my table out and ready for the next group.

In terms of the Islero review, you have to wait for that since I still have to write something about Bar Boulud. Buh, I'm really procrastinating... Christina: It’s all NOM NOM!

Over here we go by time, ha ha. Just seen your pics for Islero too... Wow! Look forward to reading the write up while I'm sitting at my desk eating a sandwich, ha ha.

How do they even get an egg in there that is still soft in the center? Mia Dona definitely looks like a place to try, thanks! That meatloaf just looks ridiculous.

I don't care much for meatloaf, but if it came with runny egg innards I'd probably change my mind. I like how they served the focaccia with roasted garlic instead of butter, which is pretty unique. And the desserts, wow! That looks incredibly delicious! I don’t care much for meatloaf, but if it came with runny egg innards I’d probably change my mind.

Well, it's a bit of a walk from where I work (about 12 blocks) and I did take the liberty to eat out for a while. Thankfully, my supervisor didn't mind at that time.
