Supper

Supper is an Italian restaurant with a ridiculously awesome wine list, a rude hostess (well, rude at least during the two minutes we interacted with her. Two minutes is hardly enough time to gauge a person's true personality, but at the same time she didn't need to react the way she did to my friend walking right past her as she chatted with her friend), and a weird, dark, and nefarious setting. While you dine at Supper you can't help but feel as if at any moment you will be attacked by vampires.

We sat in some sort of basement type setting at a long table in a skinny room. The room had multiple entry ways that sprouted from different stairwells and was decorated with chandeliers and plenty of mirrors (the mirrors were important as we were able to confirm that those dining next to us and passing through did in fact have a reflection). The waiter often disappeared out one doorway and re-entered though another. It was dizzying to keep track of.

As an appetizer we ordered the sauteed calamari which came with a delicious glaze. My entree was butternut squash ravioli in a butter sage and asparagus sauce. It was just okay. We had asked the waiter what he recommended and then proceeded to not listen to him at all so I don't think my dining experience allowed me a true reflection of the kitchen staff's skills.
