They said a 45 minute wait but some people never showed so it was about 15 minutes. Food was delicious! Service was so so. Girl didn't act like she cared. Took forever to bring drinks. Then finally came and took order. When we ask for more bread sticks or salad or refills, she would be gone forever. The last order of bread sticks, the ends were really hard. Everyone got a good size portion for the price except me. I ordered lasagna. Omg it was like two noodles, some sauce and cheese. I ask her and she said she didn't know. I have always ordered that and the portion was a good size. I ended up filling up on salad. She just seemed unhappy and didn't care.

Used to be a nice place but recently its embarrassing. I understand its hard to maintain staff cutting costs is necessary, but it seems this location really struggling.

First time back since COVID. What a huge disappointment in the food taste and quality. The shrimp scampi is not like any shrimp scampi I've ever experienced in New York, Chicago or St Louis. If there was garlic butter sauce on it, I couldn't smell it or taste it... but it was salty, everything was salty. The fried calamari was soft, salty and the temperature was lukewarm at best. I don't know if it's the recipes or the food prep team that happened to be working on a Wednesday. However, the service was excellent and the atmosphere is always great!

I had shrimp/chicken spaghetti. Tasted awful. The salad also had a weird taste. Bread was good. No offer on drink refills

The soup, salad, and breadsticks were absolutely delicious, each bite bursting with flavor. Our server, Elizabeth P., went above and beyond with her friendly and attentive service, enhancing our dining experience significantly. Her warmth and helpfulness truly made our visit memorable.
