I would give them five stars for heart and effort but only three for service and food. We are so excited to have a new 'no chain' place to dine on the west side. MR's is located in the old Famous Sams building.
When we arrived they had a sign advising to please be patient. The restaurant was almost full and the staff was running around.
We were seated by MR and loved her energy and knowledge of the menu. We quickly ordered drinks and she sold us on the Mozzarella sticks. One drink came right away and we had to wait for another ten plus minutes for the other two drinks. The mozzarella sticks arrived and they were fantastic! However, the sauce was ice cold and we had to send back twice. Third time was the charm and it was hot but we had already finished gobbling them up.
Entree:
Skillet Lasagna - was super cheesy and would have preferred more sauce. Side of meatballs- they were less than tasty.
Pasta Diablo - was good. I think this was the best entree of all three. The side of bread should be toasted vs. cold. Or come with olive oil or butter.
Chicken Alfredo - Chicken needed more seasoning.
MR and our server were very open to feedback. MR was very sweet to take off our drinks and appetizer. We were not expecting that.
Decor:
Loved the open concept. It was a bit dark in there. The curtains were closed but maybe open them up for a bit more natural light. We noticed some of the tables near the windows had the opened a bit.
With a couple more months under their belt, I am sure they will works the kinks out. We will give them another try later on in the summer.
