| - Wow, this place sucks. The service was bad, the meatballs were bland and dry, and, other than the bread, the food was just terrible. Let me start off with saying that the best meatball I've had is from Lavo. It's moist, juicy, and has this sauce that is just to die for. After waiting for 20 minutes without either a drink order or anything, we finally had someone come up to us and tell us that our server would be with us in a moment. Five minutes later, the server arrived to take our orders. I joked around with the server to ask if his meatballs were just as good, but he said that he didn't know.
Anyway, I ordered the hidden menu item, spaghetti and meatballs with the spicy meat sauce, and my buddy had the meatball parm sandwich. When my meal arrived, I was disappointed with the portion size. First, it's pasta...so what kind of restaurant gives a small portion of it. Second, after I cut into the meatball, I could see how dry it was. When I asked the server if it was supposed to be like that, he said yes, the meat is very lean. He also admitted that the first time he ate one, he was also surprised how dry it was. It should go without saying that a dry meatball is flavorless and has a bad mouth texture. Combine that with the insipid sauce, it was just a hugely disappointing meal.
Anyway, if you want a place with bad service, flavorless food, and an overall disappointing experience, Meatball Spot is the place for you. Also, the menu has all these add ons that you need for each thing you order, so the price point isn't all that competitive. Hopefully this place improves, but I'll never know, since I'm never going back and will tell all my friends how lousy this place is.
