First and likely last time visiting. We chose this restaurant because the OpenTable app listed a menu that included a veal chop, and it was only a 3-minute walk from the Wellmont Theater. However, when we arrived, we were handed a completely different menu—no veal chop at all. Disappointing, but we decided to stay.
My date ordered a dinner salad with grilled chicken, only to be told they only had breaded chicken available. I asked if they could substitute a plain chicken breast, and they said all the chicken was pre-breaded. I then asked if they could wash off the breadcrumbs before cooking, and they told us the kitchen was too busy to accommodate the request.
There were other minor issues as well—for example, the staff repeatedly pushed alcoholic drinks on us even after I said we don’t drink. They also brought over a bottle of water we never ordered.
Overall, the experience felt inflexible and inattentive. We won’t be returning.

Appetizer artichoke was not cooked. Leaves were hard to remove. We noticed another table had the Artichoke app returned Item was not removed from check. They charged me for something that we didn’t order. Did not notice till after it was paid. Dinner was $300 not a good value
2-Fish Bronzino and flounder was very salty. And a pasta dish. Surprised. We have dined there at least 6 times
And have never had a bad experience. Over priced.
Service was okay. Please let the Chef know.

Made an early Sat evening reservation as I know it gets crazy busy. Food was excellent. Servers were very nice & helpful. However, every round of drink orders came over either one short or incorrect. Had to flag down for missing drink, missing coffee, missing baileys Coffee was cold by the time the milk was brought to table.
Numerous servers kept coming over, trying to clear our table every three minutes when we were still eating the appetizers. Definitely felt rushed.
