We went again last night with friends. The service issues were worked out. The service was very old school Italian. My friend’s sole meuniere was presented to her before it was boned. The bread basket was good this time and included some thin, garlicky breadsticks which I had to stop myself from fillling up on. And the food was excellent. This is a steak house, yes, but the rest of the food is excellent as well. One person, as mentioned, had a special - sole meuniere and an excellent chopped salad. I had, yes, the duck on the bone. This time it came with a cranberry sauce and they made an orange sauce for me since I’m not a big cranberry fan. DH had tuna tartare which he said was very good and the porterhouse steak. Cooked to perfection at medium rare with a side of sauteed mushrooms - much improved since our last trip but still in need of a bit of salt (IMO). Our other friend had blue point oysters which were plump and delicious. He also had a special - seafood and pasta fra diavolo which was so loaded with seafood and one huge piece of lobster. He loved it and had been concerned about it being too hot, so it was prepared for him with a minimum heat. Expressos were excellent and we shared a chocolate mousse cake which was chocolatey and creamy and a great end to a great meal. We will be back!
