I was quite surprised by the atmosphere.  We had tried to get reservations for 6:45, but told no, so switched to 6:30.  The restaurant was only 20% full and was still not even close to being full by the time dinner was over.  I had thought this was supposed to be a hipster place, but the music playing was by The Supremes and never got anywhere past the 70s...and not in a cool/retro sort of way.\nFor dinner, the server talked up a tasting menu they were just starting.  It offered the first course served family-style with 3 offerings, then a choice of entrees and then cheesecake.  The selling point was the all-you-can-drink wine.  This sure helped everyone at the table enjoy their meal more, and I was impressed that the wine pairings were quite good.  However, the food was so very average.\nI have had many better Italian meals in this town and can't find any reason to recommend it.
