"We arrived at 6pm on a Monday for a birthday celebration. I know with the 50% off it can get crazy so we decided to go and put our names on the list but they have a policy where you can 't be seated until your whole party is here which is fine. Our whole party doesnt arrive until 6:50 to which I let the hostess know and she said it will be another 45 minutes until a table for 6 opens up. To which I see a four top then a two top with one individual sitting there and 2 more two tops on the other side of her open. So I ask the hostess if I can ask the one individual if she could move to one of the other 2 tops so we can push these together and get six top. She says 100% sure now worries . Well Monica who was the manager told the lady that she absolutely won 't be moving and they don 't ask guests to move. To which I told her I asked your hostess she said I could I then asked the lady and she was more than happy to move. The only one Unhappy was Monica. I went back to the nice lady and said the wont let her move and she says That ridiculous I 'm happy too Monica saw me talking to the guest again and came over and the women lied to Monica and said she offered to move and that she insisted to which Monica begrudgingly relented and allowed us to do it. After that whole debacle the service was atrocious, Waiting 45 minutes for our appetizers, Wrong items/Missing items on our salads, We asked for goat cheese on the salad which she brought out blue cheese and when we told her we think its blue cheese she said they dont even serve that. *Spoiler it was blue cheese*. We asked for the check 3 times and for boxes twice, The didnt have any large boxes just small boxes so we had to cram our food into 4 small boxes. Just ALL around an awful experience. Will not go back."

"Trattoria Acqua is a top 10 food destination to USA Today (as it says on its website. This claim, also with the recommendation of a friend, put the bar of expectation higher than a normal restaurant. We found the atmosphere quite elegant, which is always a plus in my book. The layout of the restaurant is definitely not traditional as it is like the 2. The floor of a building is (but still with outdoor seating in the middle). Food is of course the most important part. The bread they serve before the meal could be the best I ever had. The bread was super fresh and served with... Hummus! Needless to say, the bread was consumed quite quickly, and several baskets were eaten. Unfortunately they did not have the meal I wanted, lamb, so I got a wild boar pasta (it was game and truffle week – crazy! . The wild boar pasta was actually very good, but when the meat alone (without pasta was a little too salty. I tried some lobster ravioli that was not as good as I expected (but it grows on you. The restaurant offers some other crazy dishes, but they are really expensive, like lobster pot cakes. The best part of the meal was dessert (and the reason why it was recommended to me). I have a melted chocolate soap that came with Blueberry purple, and a raspberry sauce on the side. It was really good with a beautiful Tinge alcohol in the souffle and sauce. The Tiramisu was also very tasty; my friend thought it was amazing. Too bad we could no longer order Desserts, they have a wide selection of delicious sound items. Anyway, the review Encryption would be this: Bread – 5 stars Entree- 4 stars Dessert- 5 stars"
