We went to Goodfellas as my boyfriend had heard great things about it from his colleagues. We were able to get a reservation at the last minute on a Saturday night, so that was great. We arrived early but were seated right away. The decor was classy, and the classic movies on in the background was a nice, unique touch. The restaurant was very loud, and the table for two we were seated at was right next to the service station, so it was high traffic. The table was large, so it was hard to carry on a conversation without shouting.

I was immediately impressed with the small by-the-glass wine list, and we thoroughly enjoyed the wines we chose. Our appetizers (lobster bisque and burrata special) were excellent. As first timers, we didn't know we would also be given house salads and bruschetta in addition to bread as a part of the meal- which made me glad I didn't order the bruschetta off the menu as an appetizer!

We had the chicken rollatini which was very good, and the filet cognac. The filet cognac was good- the meat was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. It was served on top of a whole portabella mushroom. The lobster claws were overcooked, did not taste fresh, and were a little cold. I suspect my meal sat under a warming lamp for a few minutes too long before being delivered. I asked for the gorgonzola cream sauce on the side, as I'm not a huge fan of gorgonzola, but I actually enjoyed the sauce. The gorgonzola flavor was mild and complementary, not overbearing. As the signature dish, with such high quality ingredients, I expected a little more.

The complementary bruschetta was very good. I found the house salad to be a little "cheap," the salad dressing tasted like it came from a bottle from the grocery store, and it was served on tacky banquet hall glass plates. It was a simple green salad, but with all the other white-tablecloth touches, and the quality of the restaurant, I think it could be taken up a notch.

I have a feeling I would have been blown away by the pasta dishes- we'll definitely try it again, lured by the outstanding wine list and appetizers. The service was very good- I think our server was a little overworked, but the support staff made up for it with constant attention to our waterglasses and enough presence that it wasn't hard to get their attention when we had a question.

Parts of this meal were phenomenal, and others fell flat. If those little things can be cleaned up a bit, I think Goodfellas would deliver an overall unmatched high-end dining experience.
