| - High hopes were dashed. My wife and I joined a group of 30 friends who select an area restaurant every month for dinner. The restaurant is old and has the feel of a banquet style restaurant. There is a downstairs area that hosts entertainment, which looks interesting.
We were greeted by one of our two servers, who was very nice. Although we ordered from a limited menu, the variety was decent (pastas, steaks, fish, and traditional veal and chicken entries). The service was very good and the meals presented warm to hot.
I ordered the chicken Toscan and my wife ordered the veal parm. We both ordered Italian wedding soup as a starter and the white pasta as a side. The soup was excellent! However, both our entries and the side were average, at best. My chicken dish was a little dry and somewhat bland. My wife's veal parm was nothing special, but better than my dish. One of our friends ordered the scrod, which she said was over cooked.
With two glasses of wine each, our total bill was around $75, which was reasonable because the wine was only $7 per glass.
Although not a horrible experience, I would have to imagine that there are better options available in the area for Italian food.
