| - i came in just last night with three others, place was dead on a Tuesday night (around 8 PM) not a big deal though, i liked the large windows, full bar, and candle lit tables. Menu had many nice choices and i decided on the baked ziti. my dish came with a side salad, and the produce was nice and fresh! my ziti was delicious! one of the best i have ever had! my friends had the bbq chicken pizza. you could tell that quality ingredients were used. i tried a bit and didnt care for the crust, which of course is a personal preference. i felt like it was too thick (im a thin crust fan) but one of my friends quickly disagreed with me, stating that it is was perfect and exactly how he liked it!
so if the food was so good, why only three stars? mainly because when i go out to eat with friends i go to be with them, not talk with the owner our entire meal. i don't mind a quick conversation or sharing a laugh, but id rather enjoy a conversation with the company i chose. if i wanted to converse, i would have sat at the bar. all of our orders where put in and made correctly, everything we needed was there, which is also important and i don't mean to discredit that. Yet at the end of the meal, i felt like i hadn't been able to catch up with my friends at all! (why we went out to dinner in the first place). We came for the food and each others company and only left half satisfied (the food was good!) one of my friends mentioned that they would feel awkward returning because they felt like the owner talked to us the whole time and controlled the conversation and doesn't want to go back to "visit with the owner again". He is a friendly guy and just needs to know when or when not to include himself in a conversation, and when he does, he should be able to cut it short so "we can enjoy our meal", or any other polite way to excuse himself and let us enjoy each other as well.
