Even less impressed upon our 2nd visit. First time we dined the food was just ok and we had no plans of coming back. We had an awful table that was in the line of traffic at the corner of the bar and right outside the kitchen door. It was not a pleasant seat and made even more tense by the constant lapping the host and hostess made passed our table watching for when other diners would be paying their bills and leave so they could seat those waiting for a table.
We only went back because a group of friends wanted to try the place. This time the table location was better (along the side wall) but they tried to cram 10 of us at a table that barely fit 8 by the time you added dinner plates, glasses, bread baskets etc. Thankfully 1 couple cancelled at the last minute so the table worked ok as long as we shared bread/appetizer dishes. Service was fine... server worked her butt off and the bus staff kept pace. Food & beverages were brought out fairly timely. Calamari was tender but a little bland. One diner found the bristles from, I suppose, a kitchen scrub brush in the calamari. Size and ingredients of dinner salad very good and just the right amount of dressing. Wedding soup tasty and zucchini planks ok but nothing exciting. The biggest disappointment were the main courses. The (2) Veal and (1) eggplant parmesan dishes so salty they were inedible. Chix marsala dish so loaded with sauce it diluted the chicken taste. Same was said of the braised short ribs - but for the description on the menu he wouldn't have known he was eating meat. Neither complaints nor praises of those who ate the chicken parmesan or the cavatelli. Fried dough was great.
