Two of us chose the Christmas set menus-- one was Porchetta and the other a mushroom pasta.  Impressed by the starters which were presented on various plates as well as a wooden plank. 

The variety and seasoning of items served on "the plank" were excellent. We enjoyed these and had increasingly high expectations for the courses to follow.

Before finishing with our appetizers we were advised that our mains were ready so ended up rushing through.  We were not eating at an extremely slow pace as we were advised prior to being seated that we had 1 hr 45 min. before turning over the table. 

Mains were disappointing.  Pasta was tough and the porchetta wasn't very hot and except for the crispy skin not impressive.  Sides were served -- fried polenta and a variety of squash / root vegetables.  Squash was undercooked and seemingly should have been roasted.  Fried polenta was ok.  Both sides were more than adequate portions but just too much for us to even enjoy.

We had ordered dessert with our set -- Bread and butter pudding with chocolate sauce and a mocha brownie with ice cream.  Bread pudding was served at room temperature which was disappointing and the brownie was a bit dry.  Both main and dessert portions were quite large.

We didn't order any drinks and bill came to $850 before service.  Potential for good food here but think they missed it on the mains and the dessert due to a lack of detail in the kitchen.
题外话/补充资料: We didn't have a booking but queued up at 6:00 and were seating within 10 minutes. Granted, it was a Wednesday evening.
