I was really looking forward to this restaurant because I'm a huge fan of Frank Sinatra and Italian food, but the whole experience ended up being pretty disappointing. Our waiter was actually the highlight. He was kind, attentive, and handled everything professionally. I wish the food came anywhere close to his level of service.
I started with the butternut squash soup. The flavor was nice, but it came out warm to cold. I didn't want to send it back, but soup should be hot, so that was the first sign things were off. For my main dish, I ordered the halibut. I love halibut, and the fish itself was cooked fine, but the Marsala sauce was way too thick and didn't work with it at all. Halfway through the dish, I found a curly black hair in the corn on the plate. That pretty much ended my meal. I sent it back, and while the waiter apologized, I was already done at that point. The creamed corn on the side wasn't great either. It tasted more like a sweet corn chowder and didn't have much balance.
The steaks (Oscar style) were cooked well, but that was honestly the only entrees that hit the mark.
After the hair incident, the waiter brought out a dessert sampler with coffee to try to make things right. The coffee was cold and the desserts tasted fine, but not fresh.
For how expensive this place is, the whole night felt underwhelming. The singer was good and the atmosphere is nice, but even the dress code felt inconsistent. The reservation said business casual, yet people were walking in wearing jeans, tennis shoes, and Uggs. If you're going to remind guests multiple times about a dress code, it should actually be enforced.
I had high hopes and really wanted to love this place, but it just wasn't good. I wouldn't go back.
