| - Overpriced and flavroless. This place tries really hard to seem fancy, but falls far short.
The bread was fantastic, but it was paired with ice cold, solid butter. The salad, as others mentiones, had very little nearly-flavorless dressing.
I had the chicken marsala ($18). The three chicken tenders that comprised it were tender. The sauce, however, was a mess. It was as if they splashed some marsala wine on the plate, and then dumped the chicken onto the plate, oil and all, straight from the sautee pan. It was sweet, watery, spotted with oil, and devoid of any kind of seasoning. Oh, it had a few sliced mushrooms, too. I chose pasta with white sauce for the side. Bad move. It was pasta tossed in plain white sauce - no cheese, no garlic, not even a bit of salt.
My wife had the shrimp scampi ($22). It came with 4 or 5 shrimp that were actually quite big. They weren't overcooked. The sauce, again, was a watery mess, a bunch of butter quickly thrown together with some white wine. The whole thing was topped with *garlic powder*. I don't think any of it was seasoned with salt or anything else. She chose broccoli for her side. Aside from the bread, the broccoli was the best part of the meal.
Come here if you're looking to spend $20 a plate for food that's below even Olive Garden's standards. The service here was slow and unenthusiastic, and I'm willing to bet that none of the cooks have ever actually tasted the food they're sending out.
I only gave it two stars because the food did not make me sick.
