    The food is excellent. We've been dining here for close to 30 years. The food is consistently great. The service is always solid. What's not so great is the pricing. As everything is going up, Il Mulino's pricing is becoming comical. The restaurant was fairly empty on a Thursday evening, and we've never had any trouble being seated quickly upon arriving the last several visits. We were charged $3 for an extra side of salad dressing. I would have to believe that the lack of business can only be caused by the exorbitant pricing. Hopefully, this changes soon as it would be a shame to see another terrific place go away.

    La Fuga was such a delightful experience for date night with my wife. We made just in time to have a happy hour cocktail at the bar, which also happened to coincide with live Latin Jazz night. Following our beverage, we sat at a table for two and were immediately greeted by Jonathan with exceptional service. We enjoyed a kale salad and beef carpaccio appetizer followed by a pasta dish. The service, food, and ambiance were exceptional and we will definitely be back.
