A top notch steakhouse in downtown Orlando. We started with escargot, which I will typically try anywhere it is being served. The escargot here was very good, served in an actual escargot dish with butter in each socket. The snails served in the butter really allows them to soak it up. I went with the tried and true 8oz fillet, which was the perfect serving for me. The sides are big enough to share between 2 people. We got the grilled asparagus and au gratin potatoes, both were excellent and prepared perfectly. For desert we went with the dark chocolate molten turtle cake and bread pudding. The chocolate cake came with this vanilla ice cream rolled in pralines which was a great complement to the cake. The bread pudding was a sweet take on the delicious bread they serve, it is very filling.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and there is a nice vibe in the room. There are very high ceilings, and you can see the old architecture, which really adds to the atmosphere. This has to be my favorite feature, and one of the coolest things I have seen in a restaurant.
The servers provide top notch service. They know their stuff and know how to provide excellent service that a restaurant like this deserves.

Very cool, and small Italian restaurant. The small, intimate dining room sets a relaxing atmosphere. The pasta is very good, and you can't go wrong with the specials. The specials menus came around after I already decided when I wanted, and I had to switch to the shrimp scampi. It was delicious, and a great choice! I would definitely go back and try something else.
