    Beautiful atmosphere. We ended up in a seat where my partner had a view of the restaurant and I was looking at the corner where servers had some workstation. The food was incredibly average for the price. The gnocchi was doughy, the mushroom appetizer turned out to be like a cheap, fried, hush puppy, with rice inside. The steak was cooked well but the sides were overcooked carrots and the mash potatoes with the steak were gooey. Very disappointing and I would definitly not go back. The moment we sat down in the terrible seat I wanted to get up and leave. Did not order drinks or desert because the experience was so poor I wanted to go right away. As I said, beautiful environment, but the place is classless otherwise. Sorry for the strong negative opinion, it was just very disappointing.

    Live piano and great ambience with all the cherry blossoms. We are vegetarian so probably not the best judge of the food, but the vegetarian dishes we ordered were also great ! Full bar and the mixologist was great!

    Nice looking restaurant and awesome staff. Food is way over priced and really just mediocre. For the price just go to Ruth’s Chris. Food is SO much better there.

    Loved the food, the ambience, the service and the attention to detail. We both wear hearing aids and requested as quiet a table as possible so we don't pick up a lot of ambient noise and the restaurant provided us with a wonderful private booth. The salads - Baby Gem [enough for 2 to 3 people] and Beet salad with panna cotta and arugula [enough for 2 people] were both amazing. The "Spicy Rig" - rigatoni and carbonara were both first rate - which unfortunately, left very little room for dessert which I am sure is also amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant. Park at the south end of the Gateway [Summer Parking Garage] or on the street and you will find Lupessa at the far east end of the 1st floor of the Gateway. Enjoy! We will definitely return and bring our friends for a delightful evening.
