This is one of the worst meals that I've ever had. And it was expensive to boot. My biggest tip? DON'T COME HERE.
1) The service is slow. From being seated to finally receiving our entree took over an hour. Mind you we went in at 9pm and less than half the restaurant was full. By the time we left the staff was closing up the restaurant and we STILL had slow service.
2) Our calamari was of the strangest consistency I've ever eaten. The breading was bizarrely adhered to the calamari as the squid was paste-like instead of bouncy and slippery. Makes me think of paste breaded with chicken finger covering. In fact, the meat tasted so processed and was presented in such a strange way (as strips instead of the common calamari rings) we googled it and came across this

Yup breaded squid strip. I'm pretty sure they used this or something awfully similar to it because it tasted nothing like real squid. Disgusting is an understatement. Don't expect to cover up the flavor with dipping sauce either. They are nasty as well.
3) The chicken portobello was awful. The chicken came totally burnt smothered with some sauce that had next to no flavor. The pasta was overcooked angel hair pasta topped with some cheese. It tasted like crappy grade school cheap cafeteria food, except worse and priced at $21 a pop. I would not eat this again even if it was free.
4) The butternut squash ravioli was mediocre at best. It was probably the best dish during our dinner because it was not completely disgusting. Then again, I'm pretty sure you can get something similar at your local mall cafeteria.
5) The classic dirty martini tasted awful. If you asked for it neat expect to see a few suspicious ice cubes floating around. However, it was extremely boozy which was helpful in light of the disgusting food.
6) The service was horrible. Our server was slow and very unattentive. She was nowhere to be found for most the night (hence the long wait time) was brusque and harried when she did talk to us. Our water was never refilled and waiting on her (despite an almost empty restaurant towards the end of the night) was a trial in patience.
Overall this place seems to be completely focused on maximizing profit at the cost of quality and service. Will be interesting to see how things pan out as we came in with a voucher from the hotel and still left feeling bitter and robbed. Please don't come here to eat. You're better off going to subway and buying a sandwich.
