| - I've heard that this place was a decent place to go. One Saturday night we decided to take the plunge and hit it up. Oddly however the place was not very busy. There were a few tables here and there, but mostly empty. We were sat in the front of the restaurant at a window seat overlooking King St. First off the bat what I noticed was the mother who was letting her child run rampantly through and around the tables. I realize this was not the restaurants' fault but I highly dislike when this happens. A crying baby I can accept, but a child who is just randomly running everywhere, ducking under chairs, and knocking over things as he shoots past it needs sedated. I watched in amazement as he almost knocked over the tray of water our server was carrying to our table and then continued plowing through the aisle. Anyway, I digress. Onto the Review.
I immediately got a vibe from the waiter that I didn't care for. I'm not trying to be rude or mean, but he was unkempt, his hair was greasy and slicked back, but not enough to keep it from sticking out every possible angle and his attitude just screamed that he was supposed to be cut hours ago but here he is waiting tables. He very unenthusiastically answered our questions about the meals and specials being offered and then he vanished for another 15 minutes while we decided. Eventually he did make it back to take our order. Fiancee got the Fettuccine Alfredo, and I got the Fig Pizza due to the uniqueness of that idea.
With it being fairly slow I suppose I have the ability to gripe about waiting another 25 minutes for the actual food to be delivered, again rather unenthusiastically. I was presented with a Pizza, however upon trying to eat it, I realized that this was not a pizza, this was a disc of bread with toppings on it. Basically what I am saying is, it wasn't actually cut. Much to my surprise when I brought this fact to the attention of the server, his response to me was "That's how we do it here, we don't cut the pizzas"...Now, I am Italian. I have eaten more pizza and pasta than I can possibly hope to fathom. Never once was it not cut. Even mini pizzas at restaurants, they did a one over and cut it in half. However, I will go you one further. When I asked him if he could have the cooks cut it, he said "They won't cut it it's supposed to be served that way".....Well suffice to say I should have eaten the damn thing like a taco and gotten it over with, however I was forced to awkwardly use a butter knife and fork to cut through it piece by piece. This may sound like a childlike and pointless rant to you, but it's the principle of the thing to me. Even if it was not meant to be cut, if a customer asks for something to be done, then it should be at least attempted.
With that completely behind me. The pizza was actually very tasty. I've never had Figs and Honey on a pizza before and was quite happy that I took the gamble on it. Fiancee enjoyed her Pasta, and we went a few blocks down and had crepes for dessert. Someone feel free to shoot me a line if your pizza was indeed cut for you....
