    Fettuccine de Mar was great. A bit messy having to take off the shrimp tails. Friend hand lamb and said she was very satisfied with the taste and generous amount. Have had the chicken piccata and loved that before. Nice and reasonably priced bottles of wine. Good for a special dinner.

    We were warmly greeted and taken to our table that we requested. The server Brian was very nice and helpful. The food was a little disappointing for the first time ever. We went to an early dinner (5pm) and my husband ordered the Prime Rib medium rare (special of the night). When our food came out our waiter Brian let us know that it was the last piece of Prime Rib and they were out and that it was not medium rare (it was well done). At this point my husband accepted the dinner because we had plans after and didn't have time to order something that cooked to his liking (we also wanted to eat at the same time). Very disappointed that the chef did not let our server know when he pulled our dinner ticket that he would not be able to serve the Prime Rib medium rare because it was the last piece and to check with us prior to cooking our dinner if he would like something else or if that was going to be ok. Every other time we have been there, the food has been wonderful and perfectly cooked. But, it seems weird on a Friday night at 5 pm to run out of your special (& Tiramisu) so early into the evening.

    Hello, As we are trying to reach out to the large area doing our reviews. We have lived in the area for 23 years and never have heard or been to you restaurant, until we came across your location on OT. We arrived for lunch right @ 2:30 and greeted by a really charming man named Bryan. Beautiful view, but when presented with the menu because immediately I looked again at my OT app. Bryan told us NOW lunch is only served on weekends, sorry that happened, now I was not able to taste the tortellini, not at 22.00 for lunch when on your menu for 14.00 for lunch. At this point mood changed considerable, guarded you might say. We chose this: Iceberg lettuce topped with bacon, red onion, tomato, caramelized walnuts, and Gorgonzola crumbles finished with our creamy homemade Gorgonzola dressing Now as a great (I think) I know the difference between Iceberg and the bitter white ends of Romaine which we were served with a few green portions of the Romaine. Dressing was tasty but flavor was disturbed by the white ends of the Romaine. Iceberg lettuce would have been great and had the chef told Bryan he had to use Romaine we would have opted not to have the salad. At this point we just threw our experience up to having Pizza, seriously. The Pizza was excellent, nothing on it but sauce and meat, none of those annoying bell peppers or onions, none, thanks for that. We also had an order of the Cheese Bread, very tasty, but took the complimentary bread home, it was horrible, bland no flavor, sort of like something was missing, or like a bland soda bread. That is about it, did suggest to Bryan to make sure you change your lunch menu to not available Mon-Fri. would be our recommendation also please do not take short cuts in ingredients, we all know Romaine is not the same as Iceberg Lettuce, also you realize a wedge salad is not served chopped up....again seriously. Regards, Jim Boynton

    Food was great. Service was poor...however it was automatic gratuity which may explain lack of accountability and apathy. Also there was A cold blast of air every couple minutes as the door would open. Much better in warmer months.

    Definitely did not live up to the hype, as far as fettucine goes. I got the chicken fettucine and my wife got seafood fettucine. It was just not good, very bland. It was almost as if I were eating noodles in water with unflavored chicken. I was thoroughly disappointed. We also got calamari for an appetizer. It was as if they bought it from the freezer section at the dollar store. There was only a pepper flavor to it. It was not crunchy at all. It was in the shape of little rectangles. Olive garden was ten times better. The service was great though, I cannot complain about that.

    My fiance and I had Valentine's Dinner. I had booked the table after reviewing their menu of mostly Italian food. We had already decided we were both in the mood for Chicken Parmesan and when we got there only to find out we could not order off the regular menu. Also, we were cramped as the tables were squished together. We decided to make the best of it and go with it and ordered our food. Just about every dish had alcohol in it which is contradictory to medicines we both take. This limited our choices. We ordered Calamari, and I have to admit, it was the worst Calamari I have ever tasted and it was served with Tartar Sauce? Big chunks as well instead of thinly sliced. My fiance's chicken dish was good, however, I went with the prime rib and it was gristly and very fatty, hardly any meat on my piece. The potatoes and vegetables were good. We decided to order Creme Brulee for dessert, only one out of two possible desserts that did not contain alcohol. Guess what? They were out. So we ordered the only other choice which was a Canolli. They brought us 3 of them (for the price of 1) and they were hard as rocks - almost too hard to eat. Then the waiter who barely made us feel welcome and did not smile once at us throughout the meal delivered our check - and informed us not to worry about tipping because a 20% gratuity was already added! For $127 total the quality of food, service, and being crammed into a corner was not worth it. Not sure if we'll be back to try their real menu and give them another chance. Their website where their menu's were located did not indicate a different menu for Valentines. We both love Italian and were extremely disappointed.
