Anybody been ... thoughts?

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner there, a few years back. It is pricey, but their pasta is heavenly.

If you go and they have the ravioli special with truffles and foie gras, get it, it is sublime. It is a bit pricey though, just FYI.

I've been - my review is here on CH somewhere and in my blog.
Preferred Mozza and Valentino, personally. It was "okay."

Yes. I thought it was very good. I've enjoyed each dish I've sampled there. The cellar is deep, but quite expensive and it will have to unless their policy forbidding bringing your own wine has been changed.

The cons are that the kitchen can be a little heavy handed with the salt even for a halophile like me it can be just a little expensive for what it is.
