  At first wasn't sure if we were coming in thru the correct door. Coming in the restaurant the decor and layout was not aesthetically welcoming. I ordered the priciest item on the menu, the Surf and Turf. They were out of filet mignon and was offered the NY strip and a complimentary shrimp dish. The lobster tail was the size of a jumbo shrimp, the NY strip was overcooked and tough even though I said Medium well. The steak was tasty but a little difficult to cut and eat as it cooled down. The veal parmesan was not tender but not too bad, flavor wise there was nothing outstanding, husband stated it was "ok". While I'm not Italian, I grew up in a predominantly Italian neighborhood and taught authentic Italian cooking. I've had my share of delicious Italian restaurants throughout New York Cityband Brooklyn. There was nothing really authentically amazing or outstanding about these dishes. The shrimp dish was delicious, though that is a simple dish to prepare. White wine sauce and garlic was the way to go with the shrimp and it proved tasty. Staff was nice. For a Thursday night the restaurant was dead and there were room dividers set up all over, it looked and felt awkward. The pizza slice ordered for the little children at the table tasted like frozen pizza. There was nothing really that would draw us back here. I hope they improve some things. Seems like it has potential. Looks like they rent it out for parties and meetings a lot. There was a small meeting by some corporate people taking place and two ladies walked in inquiring about renting a space for a party. The pasta dish was a good portion and a lot of it was left over enough to be able take home. We don't throw out food so we did that with the spaghetti left from the veal parmesan. This is the most detailed and honest review I can give :)
