| - Bottom line ... pretty decent food; tasty sauces. Would perhaps return if not for the service. Summerlicious effect with small portions.
Just went for Summerlicious. Group of 7, 6:30 PM reservation on a Sunday evening.
Bad sign first off ... our server introduced herself, asked if we wanted water (not if we preferred tap or sparkling, whatever, just if we wanted water at all?), and then proceeded to disappear for the rest of the evening. Really. We saw her walking back and forth all evening, but she never approached our table again. At least two different other people served us instead ... which is fine, unless somebody introduced herself and told you she was your server.
As we waited for our friend, we eventually wondered whether we could get drinks, and made eye contact with a server. We asked if we could order drinks, and he was like, "Oh, of course!" and took our orders. This was about 15-20 minutes after our initial reservation time.
As we ordered drinks, I asked if we could have separate bills, knowing not every place can accommodate, and he said, "yeah, of course." When we got our bill (different server), it was one bill and she apologized for not being able to separate the bill, but we could pay with multiple cards if needed. Okay! Don't mind that ... if you can keep your story straight.
One of the busboys kept our glasses filled (until dessert), which was appreciated, and offered fresh pepper for our first and main courses.
We had to ask for bread, only after we noticed some other tables got bread. Appreciated the presentation, with warmed butter for spreading, but again, we each got one tiny slice, which meant we all kept eyeing the board, wondering which half of the group got a second slice.
Suffered a bit from the Summerlicious stereotype ... portions skimpy.
The caprese salad came with one sprig of basil, like a garnish. Perhaps a different style? The grilled calamari was tasty, and came with a generous side of greens, which was excellent.
The lobster agnolotti was tasty but the portion was a little mean. The lamb with mint was three very skinny slices. The stuffed chicken and snapper dishes fared better. All around we did enjoy our dishes, which were relatively simple but well-executed. For $25, what can you really ask for? If you have a more modest appetite, this is perfect; if not, perhaps think of dropping into Sud Forno down the street for a pick-me-up.
With all the hard surfaces and polished concrete, this place is INSANELY LOUD. The patio is wonderful; we were seated inside, but near the window. That's probably the main draw.
