My husband and I were so excited to visit this establishment. The food was ok, our waitress was very nice, but in a city as big as Philadelphia, you would think that they would honor a parking garage to validate a ticket which was right next door. I was never so humiliated in my life. This restaurant is not worth going back to. The ambience needs help and I didn't feel the same as when I was in Capitol Grille. Not the same at all. I will go back to Capitol Grille again and again. But not this place, ever! Very insulting.
Pros: decent food
Cons: ambience and no regard for pleasing the customer

Our third time in the restaurant. I received a promotional birthday certificate and we decided to give it another try. First, I made reservations for the Upstairs section of restaurant and was even added a comment when I made my reservation. Once again, my petition was ignored because they were only sitting people in first floor. The restaurant is missing something, it doesn’t have like an own soul, a character. The decor is more like a diner-seafood place rather than Italian. The air is empty doesn’t give us special feeling towards the place. This time food was good: I had shrimp dumplings and the Shrimp and Crabmeat linguini, my wife soup of the day and Carbonara Rigatoni. Our waiter was very good and knowledgeable. We went back thanks to the birthday promotion. Food was great as well service. Very disappointed that again they didnt seat us at Upstairs despite I made the reservation there and even wrote a note. Restaurant misses its own soul and feels empty.
Pros: Food, Service
Cons: Ambience, cost.
