   Wife’s order was salmon salad. Came out steak salad. Then, once she got salmon it was dry. My Strawberry Chicken salad was fine. Server was attentive.

   This was my birthday dinner and we were able to be seated in a booth (my favorite) even though it was just the two of us. We had an early reservation and were seated right away. The staff was super friendly and wishing my happy birthday. The bread was served hot and was delicious. We ordered the salmon and lasagna and both were very good! Our server was super attentive and pleasant. They brought me ice cream for my birthday with a candle and a card-super sweet. Only disappointment was that I had a $20 off coupon and forgot until she ran our card and said they couldn’t go back and change it.

   Food good. Waitress inattentive. Went 38 minutes with no water. The busboy was great. We had asked for no asparagus because of food allergy and to get spinach instead. Plate came with asparagus. No waitress in sight. Busboy took care of the issue. Manager had to bring check and water pitcher as the waitress was MIA for most of the meal.

   Food was cold and server was terrible. 15 minutes at the table before he got there asked for extra salad dressing never showed up and no balsamic glaze on it at all. Both pasta dishes served cold

   This batch of red sauce was metallic. It was an off night, as the meal I had in January was great. Our server was excellent.

    The service was slow and the noise level extremely high. I told the restaurant we were there to celebrate my husbands 65 birthday and no recognition was offered.
