    Went to BIS on a Sunday night in bad weather. it had very few diners. The meal was delectable. The pasta was fresh and the sauces where well made. We ordered a Lamb ragu; delectable! The Stuffed veal while good was a little much for late night dinning. Dinner with wine ran almost $100 per person; which I thought was on the high side. The ambiance was great and the service was thoughtful; in all a good experience
