I dined at Esca, thinking that it would be as good as Mario Batali's Lupa and Babbo--big disappointment. The food was average at best and way over-priced.Nothing special here. By the way, Esca in Italian means bait--Is Chef Batali suggesting what the food is good for?
Pros: prompt seating, very good service
Cons: very pricey, not a good food value
