| - We took advantage of a weluvlocals coupon and I was really looking forward to this but turned out to be somewhat of a so-so event.
The wait was 15 minutes longer than we were told which was unusual since they had empty tables. When we sat I was pretty hungry enticed by the rolling menu reader board outside the restaurant. Looking around at some still empty tables we decided to start out with an appetizer and chose the Caprese Croutons.
Side note: Our server was friendly but border line annoying. The rest of the folks we encountered were nice and friendly, helpful. But our server, was somewhat patronizing. "Oh well, glad she is not siting down to eat with us" I thought.
We ordered Seafood Linguini, the Grilled Chicken and Broccoli, and the Chicken Cannelloni. While we waited we feasted on some pretty good breadsticks and the crouton appetizers. My hopes somewhat dimminshed by the wait and the server began to rise again. There were still a number of empty tables and we wondered why do they keep everyone waiting?
Aside from the wait to get in, our food arrived fairly promptly, nice and hot. Looking apetizing we began to sample. My cannelloni was a mass of cheese, more than I thought since the menu said topped by a garlic cream sauce. It tasted good but I expected quite a bit more spinach on the inside. What I found was, well, more cheese and a few flecks of spinach.
While we continued I looked at Mikes plate and said "did they forget the sauce?" and he said "there is some here, somewhere." Clearly not enough for us sauce lovers though. The linguini was the same story. Lot's of noodles, a little bit of sauce, and a sprinkling of seafood. There were two sugar cube sized pieces of salmon, three rings of calamari, a few mussels and clams and three medium-small shrimp. Not a seafood lovers plate but it tasted OK, just not enough sauce, again.
When we were finishing up we asked to see a desert menu. Our server said "I'll be with you in a moment". We waited fifteen minutes to get the menu, in the meantime our leftovers were boxed by some helpful drink servers and we were ready to go. We saw our server busying about a few times but never looked our way. Finally we flagged her down and she said "ready for your check?"
We decided to skip desert.
Overall the food was fair. I almost gave this place a two star but with the coupon, the overall friendly service, ample breadsticks I decided to cut some slack. I wanted so much to fall in love with this place but I think there are better Italian places to eat.
Oh, and there were empty tables the entire time we were there, while people stood and waited to be seated.
