It was only OK. It was as though they took a normal-type dish, and had to make it exotic. Example: pasta with shrimp, scallops, and crab... yum.... then they added OCTOPUS! Yuck. I had paparelle with duck and 'shrooms. I wish I had chosen the wedding pillows (ravioli) filled with pear. Odd sounding, but it tasted good. The veal filet mignon was tasty and tender, but that can mess up my belly. The gnocchi was ok. The wedding pillows filled with cheese and citrus rind were not good.

The tiramisu was about 2" square with no lady fingers. Disappointing.
If you wanted truffles on your dish, it was an extra $99/$129/$159 per serving, depending on the type of truffle you chose.
