    The chicken parm is horrible the meat was grey and made my man’s stomach feel like cement and he’s now sick. Also the food was cold and everyone at the restaurant couldn’t finish their food we over heard the table next to us say that the food was horrible and crazy over priced. I’d rather eat rubber than that food ever again and that’s on baby

    Business dinner. Reservations process was excellent and everyone was very helpful. Food, drinks and service were great although the Cioppino, while very flavorful, was a little light on substance. Very happy with he experience and would definitely return.

    Not good for Saturday night. Booked the table months ago and got put out on the street for a business dinner. Extremely noisy. Huge party inside was also extremely noisy. Food was good but not worth the riot or inconsiderate table placement. Won’t return

    The only good thing about this restaurant was the hostess Stella. They close at 10pm. We were in the terassse and at 9:15 they started banging tables and chairs and stacking the terrasse furniture around us while we finishing our 300$ mediocre supper. Never would I recommend this place. Also 18% tip included on the bill. Never would I have given that much. A commercial rip off.

    The biggest issue is that the pasta portions were extremely small, more like an appetizer than an entree. I ordered the ravioli al pesto and there were legit only 5 raviolis. We had to order a side of fries to feel like we had an actual meal. The food tasted good, but it came out literally 2 minutes after ordering so it was suspicious. Next biggest issue is that you can’t choose between outdoor and indoor seating and the outdoor seating is abysmal, but that’s a given for downtown restaurants. The waiters were nice and the food tasted good, but honestly, Olive Garden is better.
