| - It's been about 8 years since I've eaten here and after reading others' recent reviews, I admit that I was a bit skeptical. So here goes my review of lunch on a Saturday afternoon.
We were greeted and seated right away. Complimentary bread, oil & balsamic vineger dipping sauce, and drinks came to the table shortly afterwards. Their bread was delish, might I add! I ordered antipasto salad, and clam chowder; my daughter had spaghetti with meat sauce. The clam chowder had plenty of potatoes and was good, and my salad was very good. I will admit that I've never had an antipasto salad presented like this one was, with large slices of cheese placed on top of the salad rather than in rolls or smaller pieces rolled up with the meats - it looked a little odd to me, however, the taste of it was excellent none the less. Even though antipasto typically comes with Italian dressing, I wanted to try their blue cheese after having read a previous review. I wasn't disappointed at all in our food. Some reviewers weren't fans of the meat sauce, it is a basic sauce, but having tasted my daughter's spaghetti, I thought it was very good. I would def order the spaghetti & meat sauce, something I usually don't order in a restaurant simply because you never know how their sauce will taste. And as a side note: the drinks are huge!
I liked the atmosphere and the style of music playing - sort of like Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra.
The only drawback: their bathroom is in dire need of remodeling. Everything worked, but it could def stand a cosmetic makeover.
