    It was OK. Nothing to go outta your way for tho. My wife got the spaghetti bolognese and I got the lasagna. Meh. We tried to add a meatball or sausage but they didn’t offer that… we sat for 15 minutes before anyone came by. We were literally about to leave, but the waiter said he’d be back momentarily so we stayed for the marginal food and “barely there” service. 3 outta 5 is a “D”.

    We made a reservation for 8 people and we were seated on time. Drinks and food were good. Restaurant was busy and dinner took a little longer then expected. Overall a good dinning experience. We will go back for another dinner.

    We visited the restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was tasty and served in generous portions. Dessert was akin to store-bought, sadly. Wine selection was a little on the thin side. The biggest surprise of the evening were the significant waits between “steps” in a dinner that was prix fixe in nature; it appeared that there was little organization/coordination among the staff.
