-The friendly and helpful staff, and the nice decor were high points for our dinner. The wine was good. The food however, was a major disappointment. The kitchen's reach definitely exceeds its grasp. All the menu items attempted something clever and, while there were a couple hits (the mustard fruit and veal), most of food was simply average. I also had one bite of tuna that reminded me of the supermarket sushi bar. A flashy waste of money.
-As a huge fan of Lupa, i was very eager to try Bar Milano. Unfortunately it does not compare to Lupa in any way. The atmosphere feels pretentious in a kind of corporate way, the decor is all very grey. The menu had concoctions that just seemed like the chef was trying too hard to be different, and came up with things that really weren't all that enticing.
-I could almost tolerate the horrible $24 dollar margarita but no air conditioning and all the lights on at 5 o'clock on the hottest day of the year was a deal breaker. Went across the street to Fitzgeralds for a cold beer in blissfull coolness and with a much more pleasant staff. So much for a hot spot!
-All the makings of a classic. The downside - location. But the food is consistently good, service is top-notch and the cocktail menu is superb. I'm a big fan of all the pastas. The entrees are spot-on, especially the fried rabbit. Dining at the bar area is preferred over the dining room since it does get a little stuffy.
-It fills a definite need for an upscale restaurant in this neighborhood and the proof is the wait to get a seat at any time fantastic service
