Angéline is a lovely little restaurant, and the atmosphere is very well established with a nice, cozy decor and ambiant lighting. The service is always good. The food is good, but I'm afraid it's nothing special... Italian fare is not difficult to master, and they've done fine with it, but their cuisine doesn't stand out much, I'm afraid. I'm tempted to give the restaurant a 3 star review, however, due to their prices. For what you receive, the prices are simply absurd. I realize that prices have gone up exponentially everywhere, but there are still a handful of places that I'd consider affordable. Angéline's are tremendously exaggerated. Drink prices are crazy. A caesar salad costs $30... Pasta costs next to nothing, and yet the individual dishes are $30+ for the most part. I realize many restaurants don't make a profit, but I guarantee Angéline's is doing quite well. Unfortunately, I doubt we'll be returning much in the future because of this, which I find is unfortunate since I do enjoy this restaurant very much... Just not quite THAT much. One last comment... The only negative aspect of the atmosphere is the music. When we first arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday, it was quiet and didn't bother us, but about halfway through our meal, the volume was suddenly turned up to an unpleasant level. We heard Megan Trainor and Cardi B playing. Why not play some nice instrumental Italian music instead? It would fit so much more with the ambiance than obnoxious, loud pop music.
