The veal was good, the pasta fair, and the risotto pasty and more like oatmeal. Not in the same class with La Campania or I’ll Capricious but more the Chateau with a higher price.

We asked her to please take the salad back and hold on to it so he could eat his appetizer first. The worse thing about this restaurant was the noise level. People were actually shouting to their tablemates in order to be heard. They have to do something about the noise level. I wear hearing aids and I had to take them out the noise was so bad.
