  Ate dinner here earlier tonight. The white clam sauce pasta was phenomenal. The wine was great. But the chicken parmigana was way overcooked. To the point of needing to saw at it with the knife and getting stuck in her teeth when she tried to eat it. Needless to say she didn't eat it and we told them about it, expecting it to be taken off the check.
  
  Instead they insisted it was the way parmigana is supposed to be cooked. My wife is Italian and knows what good parmigana tastes like - the flavor was great but it's not supposed to have a texture like leather. They asked if we wanted something else, but we didn't have another hour to wait for food.
  
  The creme brulee was also served room temperature through, which kind of hurts the experience - but otherwise tasted ok.
  
  In the end I was very happy with my meal (delicious clam pasta), my wife left hungry, and we grudgingly paid $25 for her lousy chicken and lukewarm creme brulee.
