This was actually the third time I have been here and this by far was one of the more forgettable experiences. When we went for New Years a few years ago, it was a very good experience. Also their brunch was good. But this time, it's gone down considerably. Carla C was there on the same night, although we never met, and I don't know what her experience was like.
I have yet to go on the patio but being by the lake is always a good feeling.
Anyway so we ordered a mushroom bruschetta. (Pet peeve, NEVER EVER call it broo-shetta). Instead we got a salmon one. Don't know how mushroom and salmon sound the same, but at least she didn't charge us for the extra plate.
Anyway the main courses were veal scallopini with pasta and orecchiette con salsiccia. What I can't stand is pasta covered in sauce. Clearly the chef is not trained in Italian cooking. The veal was kind of dry. As for the orecchiette, the pasta wasn't really cooked through and was a little too al dente. Sausage was ok.
Sometimes I believe popularity gets to people's heads and they realize and their product deteriorates. I think they will have to step up to the plate before I cut this place off entirely.
