Chez Gaudy

"Rustic Italian", says the sign by the door. Well, the other sign, not the one that tells you to whisper, because you might disturb the resident neighbors in the tiny quirky little ground level space on Bellevue.

Apparently the night to go is Tuesday Tapas night, with $8 bottles of wine and tapas plates. Unsuspecting, we went Wednesday night, when the bottles were way more expensive and the menu items rather limited. Seems like it's more of a drinks & snacks place than a full on dinner spot.

The food was good, but not GREAT; the prices were a little more than I'd have paid, but not outlandish. The atmosphere of the place is really cool, a great date place with lots of hidden corners, but I think it would feel crowded really fast. Service was attentive and really polite and apologetic about interrupting (okay, so maybe we were taking advantage of the hidden corner).
