  Something happened with this place but I'm not sure what it was. The food and service are not as good as it was just a year ago. We used to bring guests here regularly, but now we'll be looking elsewhere. Hopefully things improve, because I really liked it.

  Foods ok. The owner is a moron. He was yelling at customer's this past Saturday. Couple ordered food but had to leave due to their baby crying. Although they should have paid for the food. His reaction was ridicules. I was there with my wife celebrating our Anniversary. When the owner starting yelling at the waiter to tell them to all leave. My wife was upset and would never eat there again.

  I sent an email A WEEK AGO & no response. Nothing!
  Here it is:
  
  Our reservation was for 7:15 and we arrived a couple minutes after 7. The young lady at the door greeted us with a smile and sat us promptly which was nice. There was one couple to the left in the wine bar area, and a group of 5 or 6 at the bar area itself. A few tables in the back had folks at them including the one next to us (that was just sat with two people). We shared a waitress so when she brought their drinks she said hello and got our drink order. When she brought our wine we were ready to order but she politely noted she needed to take the order for the folks behind us. We agreed and she was turned back around to us within a few minutes. I asked to keep a wine menu to pick one for my meal and she hesitated, saying I could have it for a few minutes, I said it's fine if she needed to take it for someone but please come back after the appetizer so I can select my other glass of wine.
  
  My wife ordered the grilled romaine salad, Chicken Marsala and Tiramisu. I ordered the arancini, the steak and Tiramisu. The arancini showed quickly - while my wife's salad took a little bit longer. We started eating when hers arrived and the arancini were fantastic. I was doing my best to eat only one since the rice was filling and I didn't want to miss out on the entrée and dessert. The waitress asked to clear plates and I let her know I was holding the one arancini to take home for a snack. At that point our neighboring couple still hadn't received their appetizers. I asked for the wine menu and she stepped away. A few minutes later she walked up to the table, looked in front of me (likely checking to see if the entrees arrived) and walked away. No wine menu to be had. The steak and marsala arrive and still no wine menu. She asked if she could get me another glass of Pinot and I said no. The whole plan was to get a Cabernet or something else bold to go with the steak. I cut into the steak and the meat was cold. I asked for medium-rare and I understand that's a cool red center. The outside was room temp cold as if it sat for a while before it was brought out. I looked for the waitress and she wasn't near. The appetizers for our neighbors now arrived via other servers.
  
  I decided to eat the second arancini (which was still warm) rather than a cold steak. My wife enjoyed her marsala and after 10 minutes of staring at the cold entrée our waitress returned. I told her it was cold and to just box it up. I was not interested in waiting for a refire. My wife was nearly done eating anyway. She asked if we wanted our dessert packed as well and I said no but bring the check with it. It arrived and the tiramisu was fantastic. The waitress was trying to appease the situation by taking the wine off the bill. I am challenged to feel good about that since I paid $30 for arancini and tiramisu essentially.
  
  We paid the bill after the desserts and as we were getting up, our neighbors got their entrees.
  
  Restaurant week can be crazy. You were not that busy when we arrived but it was picking up as we were almost done. I can say with certainty that the issues of our visit were in the kitchen, but I can't understand why. It was not a slammed Friday night. Our waitress seemed to be seasoned and yet she wasn't handling things well. As we entered I had commented to my wife how cute the wine bar was and we need to come back soon for that. On my way out she said that maybe it'll be better when we come for the wine bar. I replied we won't be back.
  
  We probably eat out for dinner 100 times a year. Lunches likely 200 times. I can overlook little things as a glitch. This was a hard visit to overlook. A limited menu makes things easier in my opinion (and I may be wrong) so I really expected a strong showing.
  I look forward to your reply.

  It's been a while since we've been there (over a year) and from what we remember it was great. This time (January 2016) wasn't the same. While the rolls were tasty, it took nearly 5 minutes to be acknowledged at the table by any server or host.
  
  It wasn't terribly busy with even though it was a Saturday night at 8 P.M. and only about 12-15 tables were filled. The server took our drink and dinner order and was hardly seen again. While it didn't take long for the food to get to the table, one dish was steaming while the other was cold.
  
  As we waited for the server to return to let them know about the cold dish, they were no where to be found. Luckily another server came by and we informed them of the issue. A few minutes later and the same dish was back, barely re-heated. Still dissatisfied but too hungry to demand another re-make, we made do. Our server did return, noticing the issue, and asked if it was better. After informing them it was marginally better, they left without offering to fix it.
  
  A few minutes later and we were done, waiting for the bill. When it came, there was no compensation made nor offered for the marginal meal we just had.
  
  We won't be returning any time soon.

  The chicken spring mix wrap was delicious as was the Caesar salad. Great lunch service also!
