| - Wow. And not in a good way.
I was very disappointed after reading several reviews on how amazing the food is and how great the service is. I stopped in for lunch on Sunday and was greeted by this mannequin that holds a sign. It said to seat myself.
I sat myself.
After a few minutes someone came with menus. The menu is 8 pages long and has the old school feel to it. I just watched Bourdain scour the Italian countryside eating pasta, so I ordered a vegetable plate and some fettuccine Alfredo. I was really excited. I was.
The appetizer arrived after about 12 minutes with fried ravioli and some grilled veggies. They were soggy and the mushroom cap was leaving that grey water on the plate. Not bad, but not good either. The ravioli was okay, but not to die for. We waited another 10 minutes for our pasta - vegetable lasagna with alfredo sauce and my fettuccine.
Vegetable lasagna, dear readers, isn't just broccoli sandwiched between layers of pasta and swimming in sauce. There are other vegetables out there, like eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions...I could go on and on. The lasagna was sad. I mean it literally looked like it was crying on the plate. My alfredo was sandy, and when I say that I mean the sauce had grit in it that grinded like sand between my teeth. I stopped halfway through in fear of digesting alien fragments.
We did not get the bread that was supposed to come with our meal, either.
I paid over $50 for lunch to eat crap. I was very disappointed, felt like I was raped of my money, and honestly did not have the best time in the restroom that evening. Needless to say I will never EVER returrn here again. God willing.
