  I have to say the restaurant is a beautiful place inside. The decor is wonderful, the atmosphere is nice and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I ordered off the Prix Fixe menu for restaurant week and chose these three items: 1) Pasta Sugo All'amatriciana 2) Smothered Organic Boneless Breast of Chicken 3) Perry's "One Buffalo" ice Cream (choc and vanilla) plus 3 rounds of drinks from the bar - 2x Rusty Winters and one Grappa
  
  The pasta was good. The sauce was a bit bland and lacked some flavor. I did like the use or large cuts of onion. I didn't taste any pecorino romano cheese at all (if it was in there) and there was maybe 1 or two small pieces of Guanciale. If I every go back, I probably wouldn't order it again
  
  The chicken was also bland. It was cooked well and was juice, but I wouldnt call it smothered. It was covered with one big slice of soppressata and one slice of Provolone, but it added very little to the dish. The patatos that accompanied my dish was delicious but not cooked evenly. Some of the pieces were hard as in almost undercooked while others were mushy and over cooked. I am not a fan of brussels sprouts anyway, so take this part with that in mind. I found the sprouts to be very soggy and bitter.
  
  The Ice cream was good. Nothing to report really here.
  
  My biggest issue with this place was the bar service. We sat down and ordered drinks almost immediately. Our first course had arrived long before our drinks did. I was almost through my first course when the drinks finally arrived. The waitress was very apologetic and did her best to make up for it. Since one of our group ordered the slow braised crispy pork, we had a slight wait for the second course (menu tells us its 25 minute cook time) In this wait time, and based on our waitress promise that the next round of drinks would not take as long, we ordered a second round. Needless to say that the second course pretty much came and went without getting our second round.
  
  We requested to speak to the manager, but our waitress had informed us that the manager was behind the bar helping out and if we wanted to speak to him, we should go over to see it (yes it was our job to get him).
  
  Its a shame really, because I could have seen going back here, but after the way they treated our request, I was a bit insulted.
  
  To their credit they credited us "1 round" of drinks, but in actuality they just gave us a percentage discount off our drinks, which funny enough, didn't actually cover a round of drink, but about five dollars less.
  
  Hopefully when you go they have fired the bartender and the manager of the place and hired competent people. I have a feeling given how empty the place was on a Saturday night, that this issue of service has been going on for a while.
  
  **edit - There were three people in our party that evening. We had dinner from 5-7pm. One of our party members send a review on their facebook page and clearly (picture below) they cant take criticism. I have changed my rating based on this from 3 to 1 star!
