It was a special day for us, we got the table.. server gave us the menu and waited 20 minutes and no one showed up. Not even offered a water.. Terrible experience and it really ruined the special day for us.. Even when we pressed for waiter in Kiosk.. no one really showed up.. Definitely not up to the standards.. Worst experience on a best day ?

We had a fantastic server here and I would love for him to be our server every time if it were possible! Very friendly, fast, and good food!Kid-friendliness: The kids meal options were large portions and they gave us a cup with a lid for my kiddo. The staff talked to my kid too not just to me. She got a menu with crayons.

Family requested this restaurant; not my typical go-to. There may be only 1 vegan option (salad, which was essentially white, the lettuce I was served had no green and was poorly tossed), very limited vegetarian options, and all dishes are loaded with salt. Vegetables, bread, and other items are laden with butter and salt, rather than olive oil, They can not hold either on most items. Yhis menu is American fare, maybe Italian - inspired, but not truly Italian.. Can't say first hand, but looking at the plated dishes, the red sauces all look pretty much the same; however, I do not know whether they are. It seemed to be a fairly popular place. We did not have rez and did not have to wait, but the restaurant was full of guests. If you are looking for an Italian restaurant, this is not the place. If you want Italian-inspired American fare, it's probably ok.Parking: Easy parking with wheelchair accessibility
