RECOMMENDED DISHES : the salmon is incredible, and any of the apps., great wine list!

Huge waste of money!
DESCRIPTION: I kid you not, my "scallops and clams in broth" entree consisted of ONE scallop and ONE clam! My slice of cheesecake was so miniscule I can only assume they were rationing one cheesecake for the entire night. I paid for the $50 prixe fixe 5-course meal and left the restaurant hungry! If you really want a nice atmosphere, by all means, go, but snack beforehand and don't order the prixe fixe.

Things have changed...
DESCRIPTION: ...for the worse, unfortunately. Its still a very pretty setting, but I'm afraid the food itself has been declining over the last year or so. Apart from a few things on the raw foods menu, most other fare is rather a let-down, both in appearance, quantity, and not least, taste. This opinion is based on about half a dozen recurring visits with my wife and friends, and a sense of general decline over time. Oh, and the service - absolutely atrocious for a restaurant that is classed so high. I was at Valentino the previous week, and I tell you, there are LIGHT YEARS of difference in the service! These people should take some pointers from Piero on how to treat customers. I saw the Maitre at IoSR treat a young, not obviously wealthy-looking couple with such overt disdain when they asked to see the menu - I mean, come on! Everybody deserves some respect! Add to this some observations from friends regarding the rather dismal offerings from the fixed-price menu. and it all boils down to a rather unfortunate conclusion: Whoever is running the place now is doing it for the money, not as it was in the past, for the love of it.
