Ok. So this was my first time at the stafford location. I have dined at the downtown location but never at this one. Lovely atmosphere. Location is good. There is ample parking in vicinity. My first impression upon entering was... You stand at the door, a little awkward as there is no seating area. There isn't much thAt one can do about that! Then., We were greeted by whomever. (I have to add that it was a busy night). But she said to us "you're over there" and pointed to the table in the corner. Lol! Did not Escort us. No menu. We just sat there for 5min. Normally the person seating you escorts you to the table. But like u said they were busy. Anyway. We each had wine by the glass. I had the 0r 8 oz. I can't remember which it was. I hD the Malbec which was priced at $15 per glass. I could purchase that brand At the wine boutique approximately $12./ bottle. Wow!
I ordered the mussels with tomatoes as opposed to the mussels in white sauce. It was lovely. Would have loved some bread to soak up sauce but wasn't prepared to pay an extra$4. Sorry. Moving on...the fluid was wonderful, a little on the spicy side. I lived that it was packed with garlic could have been slight more sautéed. Little raw. The garlic
My partner ordered nocchi. Could have been slightly lighter and fluffier.
I then ordered the scalopini with white wine and lemon capers which I don't reLly care for. I found the veal slightly over done. A little rubbery for my liking. Just loved the creamy fettuccine Alfredo accompaniment. Tad salty though. But the lemon in the veal juice cut the saltiness and added the alkalinity. Overall, our bill was $180. Nice , but don't about you but for that price it's a little overpriced. Ok. So this was my first time at the stafford location. I have dined at the downtown location but never at this one.

Loved our server LAuren. As I sat facing south, I couldn't help but notice that the bar wasn't being used as extra seating area. I believe it's a lovely option for walk-ins who are unaccompanied. Perhaps, if the management sees this review, they will consider putting bar stools there. Woot, woot!
