Every one of these stars was for the food. My husband and I joined 4 other couples for dinner on a Thursday night. They had a special and so we took advantage of the special and ordered Calamari, 2 salad and one small pizza to share, and we added in a bottle of wine, and everything was delicious. The Calamari was GREAT! The wine was really good. And we had a very meaty meat loving pizza. Yum.
No one had been to this restaurant before, it's still relatively new, so we were all delighted to find it was nicely air conditioned for summer dining and the space (while tight) was comfortable.
Our waitress was really nice, and very attentive. I was even more amazed when the cook came out to apologize to another couple for delivering their ravioli slightly frozen. He brought out new ravioli and apologized personally for the issue. What service!
Then it was time to settle up and leave and things got a little uncomfortable. Our host for the evening had a "Groupon" coupon. He wanted to use that coupon and was denied because their bill (which had been done individually) was priced out at the "special" pricing. Okay, so they didn't read the fine print, but the manager came by to explain that they couldn't see fit to use this coupon under any condition (not even the condition that the owner of the coupon brought in 8 other diners for a "big party" where they had put mandatory service charges on the bill.)
I get that a restaurant has to have rules for coupons and other specials, but they also have to take into consideration how uncomfortable this was for our host and how he really wanted to show off this cool place to his friends.
That was such a sad ending to a perfect meal!
