“actually teh osso buco was like straight back to milano - the veal fell off the bone and the rich marrow sauce would make my nonna cry with joy”

“the tiramisu was clearly store-bought not house-made which is BASICALLY sacrilege at an italian place charging these prices”

“the wagyu beef melted like butter with perfect marbling and rich beefy flavor that honestly justifies every dollar of the premium price just saying”

“gotta say teh mashed potatoes were underseasoned adn somehoow both gluey adn lumpy at the same time - disappointing side for such an expensive cut”

“the seared scallops had this incredible caramelized crust that gave way to this creamy almost custard-like inside - perfect textural contrast with the crispy pancetta underneath”

“the mashed potatoes were gluey and over-whipped with that gross sticky texture that happens when you overwork them meh”

“not even kidding they handle dietary restrictions with incredible attention to detail - seperate gluten-free prep areas knowledgeable staff and even modified their signature steak seasoning to accommodate my needs”

“literally the gluten-free dessert was just a sad fruit plate that felt completely disconnected from the restaurant's otherwise sophisticated sweet offerings”

“honestly yeah its expensive but teh portions justify it - i took home half my seafood risotto and it made an amazing lunch the next day no joke”

“honestly a 16 dollar cocktail better be perfect but my negroni was watery and clearly made with bottom-shelf gin despite the premium price”

“this place surprised me by being genuinely welcoming to families - kids menu had real options beyond chicken fingers and our server was patient with my youngest who kept changing his order”

“honestly at these prices i expected bigger portions especially since we're trying to share appetizers wiht three growing kids who are always hungry”

“gotta say their espresso program is surprisingly sophisticated for a steakhouse - single-origin beans proper extraction adn baristas who can actually create decent latte art in this upscale setting”

“coffee menu felt limited compared to dedicated shops like only basic milk alternatives and no specialty drinks beyond standard cappuccino and americano”
