I really want this place to be good! We live in Evansville and get tired of going to Madison when we want a nice meal. We would love for this place to take off and for the squeaks to get worked out.
The menu is pretty impressive - so I hope they can pull it off. We like the things that they are trying.
We went there within their first week of business - during Syttenda Mai - so the town (and the restaurant) were very busy.
* It was the waitress's first night. She had no apparent training. Please train your staff before you throw them to the wolves.
* Well - my first item cascades down to other issues - like our check which should have totaled about $70 - but was presented to me at $109. I asked for a recalc on the math - and it was better the second time.
* Salads were not served before the main course
* I had the fettuccine bolognese, a dish I enjoy a lot. There was no seasoning. It was super bland - though the pasta was cooked correctly and sauce had the right consistency. I had to add a lot of salt - which helped some.
* Nothing on the walls - please find some artists to show work. Should be easy and will help reduce the echo in the dining room. Also - some light music would enhance the quietness.
The menu looks great - with getting the squeaks fixed we look forward to many dinners with you.
