| - We tried to try this place out when it first opened. Not being much else in the area, it was pretty crowded and there was a wait. This is to be expected. A fact that was apparently not anticipated by the owners. We would've waited at the bar and had some wine, had it not also been packed. Any time we spied an opening, it was immediately taken. Again - to be expected at a new joint that's the only game in town. My issue with this was that there was nowhere to sit in the foyer area. If you stood near the hostess stand, you were in their way. If you stood on either side of it, you were in the doorway, or uncomfortably close to tables in the bar area. There were no benches, etc. They had thrown wooden chairs in front of the open kitchen area for some people but nothing was offered to us. Not that I would've wanted to sit there, either. It was just awkward and weird, so we ended up leaving.
After the initial newness of the place wore off, we stopped in for a Valentine's Day dinner. I was excited to try their pizza since I'd seen some good reviews on other sites. My expectations were, sadly, not met. At all. I can make a better pizza at home and I am NOT kidding. No flavor, sparse toppings and the sauce - oh my - the sauce! Think tomato paste straight from the can people!
Another thing--our waitress. We ordered one pasta entree and one small pizza because we couldn't pick just one thing each and figured we'd share. We told her this ahead of time. No extra plates were brought when the food arrived. Most places that specialize in pizza have a pizza stand on the table or bring one when the pizza arrives. Even Pizza Hut does this for Pete's Sake! Our waitress plopped the entire pizza on the pan in front of me as if it were a plate and I was supposed to just dig in. W T H ? It was really pretty comical but SERIOUSLY.... who does that??? LOL!!
Not impressed at all with this place. Bummer.
