"We were being treated for our anniversary which I did mention in the reservation (because there was a question about special occasion) They were very flexible as our plans had changed and they were able to accommodate us 45 min earlier than our reservation. There was an odd scent, sort of musty or perfume like but not exactly. I am very sensitive to scent but even my husband noticed it as it was quite strong. I would have said something but since we were being treated I didn’t want to cause any awkwardness. We were the first people there but by the time we left every table was filled. The food was excellent. I had the lamb chops, my husband veal and my father had a seafood dish. Service was good. We split 2 tartufos for dessert. They were good not great and I was kind of expecting a dessert on the house since I mentioned our anniversary, otherwise why ask, but as I said we were being treated so maybe one of them was on the house but no one wished us a happy anniversary. I ordered decaf which took a little while because we were told they had to brew a new pot. It was terrible. Really bad, not worth drinking. Again, I would have complained but didn’t want to under the circumstances. My father asked and so I told him. He tasted it and then he wanted to complain but our waiter was busy. As he said it’s the last thing you taste and it should be good. I will come back for the food and skip the coffee and just hope there isn’t a weird smell again"
