| - I must be a big old food snob, because I ate at this place last night and thought it was awful. Unfortunately, my suspicions of a hotel restaurant were confirmed - way over priced, under flavored, and just very "meh" in general. We had a party of 8, and not only was the waiter rude and firm (No soup substitutions for salad, no split checks, no cake cutting in the back..), but the food was just yucky. Breadsticks were cheap oven baked kind with some sort of "garlic lard" spread on top, and the salad was over-dressed and you could tell it had been made in a 40-gallon drum at the beginning of the day. It was soggy and limp and NOT how a salad should be (Olive garden was better than this place - and that's saying a lot). The actual pasta was fine, nothing spectacular but I was surprised given how nasty the bread and salad were that the pasta was even palatable. Huge portions, but $16 for a plate of angel hair with tomatoes is absurd - a box of the dry pasta costs less than a buck! Now, normally I might say that ambience accounts for a lot of the cost, but this place was decked out in a mix between tacky tudor and TGI Friday. Save your money and go to Ellis Island on Koval St. for a $6.99 steak dinner. You'll be a lot happier.
