| - Pretty disappointed, especially considering the other reviews. Will probably give a second chance.
To begin with, the draft beers come with no explanation, all are unfamiliar which is great, but the waiter seemed unable to be of assistance in recommending anything as he was unfamiliar with the drafts as well. So I just got a bottle of Great Lakes. Oh well, not a big issue... But the inconsistencies continue.
Next, I order the pasta special: Ohio City fettuccine, with a roasted tomato sauce, arugula, and shrimp. Although I typically do not like fettuccine, these noodles are fresh and flavorful. Nice! But where's the arugula? There is no arugula. Why do you list arugula and not put any? Too bad, arugula would've provided a nice balance to the somewhat overbearingly smoky sauce. The worst offender, however, is the shrimp. I understand cooking shrimp in the shell makes for more flavorful shrimp. Good. But if you're going to peel some of the shrimp, please peel all of the shrimp. There were about 5 prawns, some had half a shell, some had a whole shell, some had no shell. When the shrimp are covered with sauce, it's hard to tell which have a shell, and even harder to take the shell off.
Finally, the pasta special was listed at $22, but showed up as $25 on the check. I guess not having arugula or fully peeled shrimp adds value? The waiter remedied this, but come on.
My friends really liked most of what they ate. The meatloaf was apparently amazing. It's just too bad this place hasn't figured things out yet. When they do, should be pretty good.
