| - I have passed by this establishment a number of times to go to Duke's. My friend suggested that we finally go in and try their Italian repast.
Our server was awesome! He provided us with suggestions and was understanding of our indecisiveness. He was also engaging, but as we were here for a while, he didn't interrupt our conversation excessively to ask if we were okay. He came by just enough times to enable us to get additional drinks or dishes.
My friend got the stuffed meatball and garlic bread, which she loved. I got the Capri pasta and the calamari. The calamari and accompanying sauce was standard. The Capri pasta was uninspired and under-delivered.
According to the menu, the Capri pasta contains, mussels, squid, shrimp, scallops, roasted red peppers, scallions, lemon zest, and tomato sauce. The flavour was basic and there was one ring of squid, no scallops and no shrimp. There was however, at least eight cloves of garlic.
Normally I would have said something, but I was caught up in conversation with my friend and the abundance of mussels (which i love) distracted me I suppose. I regret not mentioning anything, but once I had realized, I had eaten more than half of the portion... I didn't want to be that guy :(. So there I was... disappointed, smelling like a garlic clove.
