Summary before my actual notes: Cafe Legato has the capability of being a high-end, top-tier restaurant. They know their clientele, though, and are catering to them. However, even if a business wants to attract a younger, less uptight crowd, service can never be the detriment. Birthday celebrations, DJ's with announcements and staff that ring bells are fine and all, but service has room to improve.

Service at bar offered. Seat was prepared. Ambiance is chic yet still old-school Italian low light. 15th floor view is definitely part of the attraction. Clientele is overall young. Music is louder than background, some patrons refer to it as great dj music. Service is painfully green, raw, and young. Pricing is rather fair. Open kitchen is always an interesting touch, although not new. The restaurant combines youthfulness and effervescence with above average tasting food  and a locale with a respected, known environment from an older time. Service is slow. Close to nonexistent Extremely poor situational awareness from staff. Total time to initial service: 24 minutes. Unsatisfactory. Food service time is average across the board.
