Come for Curiosity, Leave for Service

Mediocre food covered in overpowering sauces. Were it not for the odd, overbearing staff, it might be passable.
When spending upwards of $200 for dinner for two, I expect better service. Upon entering the maitre d was the model of pomposity: " Can I HELP you?" After being shuffled to a cramped corner table, next to a peculiar pasta hotplate reheating station, we were confronted with at leat 4 different servers, including a very odd, severe woman who immediately read us the specials and rushed to take our orders (not even a cocktail order was taken). From initial seating through the dessert (we read our dessert menus, one with a large burn hole, and decided to go elsewhere) service was rushed, space was cramped and food was gimmicky.
A tourist trap for out of towners enamored of the namesake's show. Go elsewhere.
