We usually only dine here (downtown location) 2-3 time's a year, due to price, parking and wait time's. If you have a reservation it helps, but you will still have to wait at least 15+ minutes to be seated, I've had friends wait over 2 hours. The lighting is a bit dark during dinner, the walls are covered with"famous" people and old italian pictures, generally it's a nice atmosphere, however it get's very busy and loud during rush's, not a great place to go for an intimate dinner, unless you settle for an early dinner, table's are tight, not much seating on the dinner floor or bar during rush's. The staff is very nice (once we've gotten the rude waiter, actually the whole staff who ignored our request's and was troubled by us being there, and was appaled we did'nt provide him with a $50 tip, this was the south location, beautiful building, we've never gone back) Most everything we've tried has been very good, and large portions, we always have more then half to bring home, the Potroast was dissapointing, but no complaints on anything else we've had thus far. Pricing is, on the high end, but when you look at the portion size, it's resonable. Drink's from the bar are average, I dont see the obsession with dipping bread in oil but to each thier own. Tables are tight for the multiple plates you have, specially if dining with friends/family. Parking is horrible, if you can find a meter, otherwise there is a garage below, but they do not validate parking, I think only the Movie theater does, up to 3 or 4 hours. Overall I like it, I look forward to going to the downtown location, and have only once been unsatisfied in the 5+ years we've gone
