It was a rare chance for an intimate girls night out and I thought trying ee da li which is tucked away on the 3rd floor of 8 lyndhurst at this talked about restaurant would be perfect.

We made the reso 2days ahead and were seated right at the door entrance. No problem I figured, since a packed restaurant is always better than an empty one.
No one came to introduce their menu but we ordered a chopped salad, a slow cooked octopus, lobster pasta and a snow crab pasta. Then the bread came and it was crusty (felt like it was oven warmed more than once).
Chopped salad was normal, nothing too exciting. Octopus was nice and well sous vide'd. Though not cheap for such a small portion. My girlfriend was half way through her salad and the waitress asked if she was done. (Weird!). When she said she's working on it, the waitress asked if we would like the pastas to be served regardless. (More weird). We felt being rushed through.
When the pastas came, they looked like they were swimming in sauces. Both sauces tasted the same, and there was A LOT of sauces. Pasta was al dente and hand made. (Brownie point). Lobster was done just right but tasteless. Any experienced waiter should have reminded us if there base if these sauces were the same. I finished my pasta faster than my gf and while she was finishing her crab pasta at a slower pace, the waitress came again to offer to collect her plate (there was crab meat in there still and it was an over $400 plate pasta)!
For dessert, I ordered a classic tiramisu. Turned out its not Classic at all. Coffee in the lady fingers didn't taste strong enough and the over powering sweetness from the sugars and banana just overkilled it. There was more than 4/5 of it left but nobody asked us why.
Before we asked for the bill, the bill arrived and we were asked if we were ready for the bill.
Overall food is so so. Not authentic for sure. Service was bad. Won't go back.
