Or is there anything more annoying than 2 people next to you staring at you every second of the meal, listening to your every word and not talking amongst themselves? I guess we were just interesting to listen to, but they weren't, and we wish we had more than 6 inches of space. They laughed when we asked for the Sommalier who recommended the first bottle on the menu which was absolutely mediocre, Try Again. The starters were fine, but nothing exciting (Scallops for her and Liver for me) The liver had a dash of brilliance but the polenta cube it was sitting on was detracting from the meat. The wine perfectly crushed any flavors that were in the mood. Main courses were equally lackluster. Why are people raving about Gnudi? It tastes like a clump of uncooked dough. My date left two on her plate and they weren't exciting enough for me to snatch them up--and I eat anything. My Short Rib was actually very good as were the presentations of all dishes, but after a few bites, we were over Falai. The atmosphere is nice for about 5 seconds and then you want to be out--enough white already. There is no intimacy or even a hint of romantic ambience--unless you get the table outside perhaps--it was empty the whole night? I wish we could have given dessert a chance but I have a feeling we were going from bad to worse. In summary, Falai is not horrible, it's actually fine, for what it is--almost upscale. Warning--The people next to us might be sitting next to you--they are regulars--Beware :)
Pros: Presentation
Cons: Taste, Ambience, Sommalier has no clue
