| - On the plus side - the food was good. I had the lamb shank, and my wife the penne. No complaints about either. And our waiter was attentive. The portion sizes were a bit smaller than I was expecting but I didn't leave hungry. I guess that since t I had just come back from the US a few days earlier, I was spoiled by the ridiculously large portion sizes down there. The warm bread that was given to us at the start was alright, although an offer to refill it would have been appreciated.
On the negative side, while the waiter who served us was friendly and attentive, the hostess who seated us could be kindly described as rudely indifferent. She barely looked at us when we checked in, curtly told us to follow us to our table, and upon seeing that we didn't have a wine list at the table already, she took one from an adjacent table and practically threw it at us.
Regarding some of the other reviews that I found here: On 2/13/17, "Fred D" complained that the server did not give the price of the specials but that the manager said he would instruct the staff to do so going forward. Well, our waiter didn't get the memo, and apparently neither did the ones that were within earshot of my table, as they all recited the specials but none mentioned any prices. In another review, "Cindy L" on 9/5/15 must have had the same hostess that we did. While I found her rudely indifferent, she seemed very friendly with other customers, likely the regulars. She certainly didn't make me feel very welcome there. And on 5/13/15, "Jo Jo C" described the banana bread pudding as "better than sex". It was alright, but if she thinks it's better than sex, she needs a new partner.
