| - Not worth the price of the voucher! The concept is good, but very poorly executed.
My husband and I went there tonight, with the Groupon, and we walked out before we got our main courses. Our experience to that point, made it clear that it wasn't worth staying.
1) the place was freezing
2) we were seated under a speaker, the pianist/singer was horrible and we couldn't hear ourselves think. We asked if they could turn down the speaker a bit, the server agreed it was too loud. She tried to turn down the speaker, but couldn't.
3) the place was packed, and they keep adding more seats to places where clearly there shouldn't have been seats, so people were sitting within an inch of us.
3) we ordered calamari that was clearly frozen and served with seafood sauce from the jar.
4) we ordered an additional appetizer, the caprese salad, which was a few slices of unripened tomatoes with some bocancini cheese. The fresh basil and good quality olive oil were MIA.
5) with only 1 person serving, and 1 chef with no assistant, The service was sporadic at best.
Between the overcrowding, being unable to hear and lousy food, we decided to cut our losses on the voucher and leave before we got our mains. We weren't enjoying anything, so there was no point in staying.
We walked over to Dimmi on Cumberland and had some phenomenal fresh pasta. We were able to talk, had no one on top of us, and great service.
