Bad service, 5% service charge is ridiculous, go elsewhere.

Went to dinner with couple of friends on a Friday night. After telling the waiter twice we weren't ready to order because we wanted to check out the entire menu, the waiter did not return for 20 minutes. After finally getting his attention, he told us "one second" and returned 5 minutes later and said, "Now, where were we?" We were hungry, that's where we were. He didn't seem to care too much maybe it was because only one of us was drinking wine. Also, you don't get bread until you order like most other finer Italian restaurants. Maybe the 5% service charge (pre-tip) makes them think they don't need to FULLY earn your tip by providing excellent service. The food was decent enough but a little on the expensive side.
Taking the whole experience into consideration, I would not return. There are restaurants that treat you far better and earn their full tip.
Pros: Food is good, Nice decor, sparkling and tap water
Cons: Service, service, service, service, service. (one time for each % service charge)
