We were there great evening. My hbausnd and I have followed his show (and blog) for a couple years, but I always thought he was kind of snarky/mean. I didn't really get that impression Monday. Definitely opinionated.I want to talk about the restaurant situation. We got to downtown around 6 p.m. and went to Olive or Twist. Completely booked, not taking names. Went to Six Penn, 45 minute wait. Finally, running out of time, we went to Palazzo, a place we only had drinks at the bar before. The food was decent and the service was excellent. At this point it was 6:15. The waitress asked if we needed to be out for an event and we were actually done by 7 p.m. There was Italian bread with a dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar waiting on each table. I had a very nice garden salad (way too much dressing ask for it on the side) and a satisfactory cheese ravioli in marinara sauce ($14). Filling, not astounding but not bad. My hbausnd had the special that was shrimp and sirloin tips with banana peppers and farfelle ($21?) that he really liked. Really spicy and we love spice. We both had a couple glasses of a sauvignon blanc that was very good.Would we do it again? It wouldn't be our destination but we wouldn't hesitate if we were in the same situation.Lorik
