We were seated, we waited 20 min until the asst mgr came and brought us water and took our drink order. I got my drink then our waitress came and took our order. We came for the cheesy garlic bread but were told they had no bread so instead I ordered a small pizza as our appetizer, a side salad and pasta. Someone brought out my pasta and my husband's spaghetti and 5 minutes later got the pizza and we were never asked for more drinks or water refill and never received my side salad. Eventually our waitress showed up for the second time with our check. We were very disappointed and I told the assistant mgr on our way out the door and all he said was “oh, I'm sorry that happened.” We left, we have zero intention of ever going back, this was our 3rd visit here, never again. ?

I think the bartender Kyle was wired on drugs. Started with our order and completely ignored us. Never offered anything had to ask another to take our order. He seemed annoyed. The order came out and it was wrong. He said well I’ll just charge you half the price! Lol. Never offered a drink or anything. The regular customers seem to get much better service. This was a second shot for this restaurant and it was not a good experience. One of the waitresses asked how everything was and I said well I didn’t get what I ordered. She actually laughed.

Great evening with friends and delicious food. Oh, and the rendition of “Sweet Caroline” only gets better each time Tom and Ron play/sing ?

Currently my favorite place for Cajun chicken pasta and Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. That is saying a lot. Place offers amazing food. Service can be phenomenal at times, but sometimes when they are busy the service can dwindle a bit (Less checking in on us for refills, no bread brought to table). However there are some excellent wait staff there that really go up and beyond if you get them. The atmosphere can vary greatly. Some nights it's a nice date night spot, others better for family. They have live music some nights and the bar is close to regular dining so if you like live music while you eat they have that at times. Overall I think the food is phenomenal and some of the best around and that should be reason enough to try this restaurant but the ambiance trys to appeal to everyone like dates, family, and going out on a Friday night so it's difficult to plan for an outing and situational. It's obvious the owner or manager cares and will listen to feedback, I expect this already great place to get better with time.Parking: Small parking lot but they also use parking next door as well. No stress finding parking.

If you’re thinking about ordering from here on a delivery service… don’t! They do not seal the food and bag with any kind of sticker to let you know that your food has not been tampered with.As far as the food quality, I was extremely disappointed. I have ordered from here on 3 different occasions hoping that they will get better and after today I will never spend money on their food again. I have ordered different items, salads, apps, pasta etc. and none of them taste good. It sucks because we do not have many restaurants in Seymour and I want to support a local place as a Seymour resident but not at the expense of going hungry.Tonight I ordered cheesy garlic bread and rigatoni vodka. The garlic bread was good, however the pomodoro sauce for dipping was terrible. It literally tasted like Dominos sauce. It’s so thin, there are no chunks of tomatoes I don’t think it’s homemade. The rigatoni was awful. It was supposed to have vodka sauce which is usually bright in color. This sauce was darker and tasteless. It tasted like they used the dominos sauce and just added ricotta.

Had an excellent dining experience on two occasions here. Excellent salad options and the Risotto was very good, along with our eggplant rollatini. Service was excellent. On our most recent visit my only recommendation would be in install some ceiling fans in the dining room. We could feel the AC was on, but with little air movement we still felt sweat down our backs with the humidity.

Hubby was impressed w/ all the food we ate. We originally only came to try the ?. The coupon flyer in the mail. He was very impressed w/ UR tiramisu. He said that was the best he's had in over 2 years.We never eat dessert either. We had appetizers, pizza, soda, & dessert. We never eat this much food for dinner. Well done! The only negative thing I have to say is that my choice of foods were extremely greasy.Parking: More lighting in the parking lot to see where ones ?.

The restaurant itself is very nice and clean, food was not so good but only reason was because it was very salty.We ordered a Philly steak Grinder, the portion was very large but again it tasted like someone poured the whole salt shaker on it.We ordered the ricotta and meatball pizza which looked so good but again, Was over salted.Not sure what they use on the food but hoping maybe they could back off on the salt a little.Not sure if we will take another chance because this was second time this happened.

A group of 9 of us went there on Friday night to celebrate a birthday dinner. My 7 year old ordered a lemonade, when it arrived he took a sip and said it tasted “spicy”. I tried it, and sure enough it tasted off. I told him not to drink it and just have the water.At the other end of the table, my other son’s boyfriend (16 years old), also ordered lemonade. He thought it tasted off, but didn’t want to complain.The waitress brought him a second one after asking if he wanted a refill (he is young and shouldn’t have agreed to the 2nd one, but is shy and just said yes, thank you).He drank it and moments after started to profusely vomit all over himself, the table, everywhere.My brother in law brought him to the bathroom where he passed out. Once he came to, he threw up some more (I went into the bathroom with him at this point to make sure he was okay).I came out and asked the waitress if she possibly had given him a hard lemonade by mistake for this type of immediate reaction in a young teenager. She said no. I do believe her.When I questioned the freshness of the lemonade, and how I myself thought my son’s tasted funky, she responded with “well I served 3 other tables lemonade this evening and have had no complaints”.My son’s boyfriend shouldn’t have continued drinking a drink he as well thought was expired, but again he is young and was trying to just sit quietly and felt he would be a burden to complain.While all this was going on, not a single staff member asked if he was okay, including the waitress who was a witness to me being told that he had passed out in the bathroom.I wish I had asked to see the bottle the lemonade had come from, as I am convinced that was the culprit.We left immediately following him passing out, and will never be returning again.The lack of compassion, empathy, or even accountability for this situation is appalling. A child got sick and passed out and not a single staff member took even a second to ask if he was okay, let alone help me figure out what happened so it doesn’t happen to another patron.The reason I don’t believe it was the food is because only liquid had come up with his vomit, once that had been expelled and after he passed out, he was okay.I will be contacting corporate.

Taylor was a wonderful and thoughtful waitress who made our night an enjoyable experience. The food elicits a mixed reception; the calamari was salty, the chicken parmigiana and sausage risotto generous and flavorable. The dining room was noisy as it was Friday and there was live entertainment in the bar. So overall our experience was a mixture of good and not so good. No deal breakers so we will likely try again just not on the weekend.

The general tso pizza is incredible! I loved the Notorious PIG cocktail, and let me just say, the Peanut Butter Cup Mousse is equally amazing. Loved!

Nice place. Staff was friendly and competent. Food was excellent. Apps, pies, and entrees were all great. Portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming. Ok, the meatball grinder was overwhelming. Live music was good and at the perfect volume. Loud enough to hear and enjoy but not so loud that we couldn't converse. Overall, a great dining experience.

The arancini were probably the best I've ever had. The pizza crust was well done and crisp. The rollatini and eggplant fries were also very good. We will try to eat here again when we are in the area.
