| - I have a very mixed review about this place. While this wasnt my favourite , I also didnt hate it. So first off, this location is huge, it has two floors and is perfect for large groups (just make sure you reserve in advance as it does get very busy). The decor inside is rustic but nice and comfortable/clean. The prices are very cheap as well , and you get very big portions for your money. They serve italian food like pizza, pasta , risotto as well as a variety of starters and they have a wide variety of alcohol and cocktails. My issue was with the quality of the food , while it wasnt horrible , there was really nothing about it that stood out, it was very bland/ordinary. I ordered a Lobster Mac & Cheese which is usually one of my all time favourite things , but this one just fell flat. There was barely , and i do mean BARELY any lobster inside and the mac&cheese was super creamy but the cheese inside really had no taste and the noodles were overdone. Another person at our table had the risotto and had the same thing to say about it , just very bland and overdone. However, someone at the table did order pizza and they seemed to be happy with it , so im thinking pizza is the safer bet when coming here. Their cocktails were pretty good all around though , so that was a plus. However, Ive been here twice and the first time our server was great , she was friendly and handled our group very well , she didnt miss a beat and made sure we all had what we needed. However, the second time I came here the server we had couldnt even be bothered to smile and kind of seemed annoyed just to be there. So service seems to be hit or miss. One thing I did enjoy was that they start you off with free fresh warm . baguette that comes with a delicious pesto dip (and they keep it coming !) All that being said , I wouldnt be opposed to coming back here again if I were invited but it wouldnt be my first pick for dinner. Maybe I would recommend it more for drinks and snacks.
