So many things to say about this place. First, make sure you have an enormous block of time available if you want to eat here. It took us 2 hours, and all we ordered were entrees and wine. Most of the employees are teenagers who walk around pouring water and getting admonished by the wait staff in the middle of the dining room floor. For some extremely odd reason, they bring the food and then heat it up on burners in the dining room, which slows down an already extremely slow process of getting the food to the table. The entrees come with a "vegetable medley" as the only side, which is shorthand for 3 pieces of vegetables. There aren't even other sides on the menu to add a la carte. We literally received a steak with one piece of broccoli, one piece of cauliflower, and one carrot slice, which is slightly absurd. Honestly, I understand the lure of sticking to tradition that (they believe) works, but this place is in need of a serious upgrade and modernization in the way it's run. However, if you like old school, extremely slow and unnecessarily complex service, this may be the place for you. At least the food is good.
Do not waste your money or time!! We wanted to love it, as it was our first trip to the hill. We made reservations for 6, arrived early and were seated right around 5:50. We did not get addressed or have our order taken until almost 6:40....... Our food was brought out by another server because our server was preoccupied with another table (prom kids that were almost in tears because their food was so late that their limo driver left, they had been there since 5:15). The owner came and apologized to that table, as we adults sat unattended. To say we were unimpressed is an understatement. We will give the hill another chance but never here! Again do not waste your time or money!!!
The food was very nice, definitely upscale. Portions were also good, service was very attentive. This is an upscale place servers wearing tuxes and the prices match it. Atmosphere was also quite nice, it has served three presidents and catered Ronald Reagans inaugural dinner. Very cool!
I absolutely love this place. I have been a few times. It can be pricey so it's every once in a great while. Took my mom to celebrate her birthday. Couldn't ask for a better place. My mom is Italian and extemely picky and she actually thought it was good. They even brought out a desert to celebrate! Wonderful experience.
Overpriced and overrated. The seriously need to turn down the AC and turn up the lighting. Maybe just not my style. Food was fairly good, service just ok.
