After The Grill Room we had to try the Corner Room for my birthday dinner.

Wow, we walked into a smoke filled restaurant. Seemed concerning, so I had to mention it immediately at the host stand. They agreed that the restaurant was very smoky. I asked if that’s why the doors were partially propped open, and they told me “yes”. They didn’t offer any explanation. I made the reservation several weeks ago, so I didn’t want to leave. I assumed something caught fire in the kitchen and one the restaurant aired out it would be better. I was wrong. There must have been an issue with the exhaust and the air conditioning. It was cooler outside on a July evening and the smoke conditions kept getting worse! More than one table left and several patrons eyes were burning and tearing. So unfortunate. I highly doubt that they legally should have continued to seat tables and serve.

We decided to come to The Corner Room for a drink & appetizer as we waited for our dinner reservation. We are SO GLAD we did!! The atmosphere was quaint and perfect for a low-key night out!! The wine selection was great, and the antipasto was delicious! The whipped ricotta was amazing, and I couldn’t get enough of the pickled veg! Prosciutto was my favorite of the meat selection! I would recommend extra crostini!!

The corner room was delicious! I am so surprised it took me so long to get here, but I made it! The food was great. Everything that came out was hot, fresh and delicious. The Squid Ink Campanelle was delicious and spicy in such a good way— the flavor was amazing! The arancini was the definition of comfort food. Perfectly crusted and salty! One of my favorite things about the menu is that you can order small or large portions of almost every dish. The staff and service was good, quick and kind. Reservations are usually available online, I would recommend taking advantage of that. There is no off street parking, so give yourself a little extra time to park!

Always our favorite spot to go for a date night, love it. The food is outstanding, we always get the bolognese. We also had the aranci this time, some of the best we have had, charcuterie, and a hanger steak special cooked perfectly with asparagus and confit potatoes.

This place is so yummy & the decor is warm & inviting. We ordered the beautiful piled-high charcuterie board full of favorites and surprises. 5 of us worked hard to demolish it. We also shared the beets. If you like this vegetable it is a terrific salad speckled with pistachios. I was so full I ordered the soup for dinner – garlic and walnut & I loved every mouthful. The restaurant stocks an Italian white wine that has a crown on the label – cannot remember the name- & even our non-wine drinkers liked it. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal & appreciated the ambiance

Definitely make a reservation! Our server was phenomenal and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. Even though he got pretty busy, he was very attentive and sweet. The gluten free pasta was probably the best I’ve ever had! Their seasonal cocktail was delicious with earl grey tea and gin.

Sat at the bar and started with a hot spicy toddy to warm us up as it was snowing. I was wanting a specific Italian dish and the chef was able to prepare it perfectly! The service and food was amazing and we left with big smiles on our faces! Highly recommend!
