| - I don't like leaving bad reviews, especially for those who are so obviously working hard on a small business. We were served by a woman who we suspected might be the owner. My Mom wanted a nice place to celebrate her daughter-in-law's birthday. The daughter-in-law ordered mussels. My niece ordered the antipasta plate for one. The antipasta plate was unattractive and sort of looked like a child's plate made by a frugal mother. Extremely thin slices of meat and cheese slapped on a bare small plate with tiny little sides of black olives and another of artichokes. Blah and pricey at maybe $14? The mussels served to my sister-in-law were small and not generously proportioned, perhaps about 16 mussels, perhaps costing about $15. She ate one or two and my Mom ate one. Both of them agreed they weren't very good, in fact, maybe bad? I tasted one as did my niece, we all agreed they tasted fishy, were more rubbery than usual and seemed cooked poorly too. None of us were comfortable eating them safely. (Oh and there was very little sauce/broth). No problem, we thought. Mistakes happen. My Mom flagged down the woman who was serving us and told her. We said we all tried it and we all agreed it was fishy. The server argued with us, telling us, like we were born yesterday "They are mussels, they are supposed to taste fishy" My mother replied she'd "eaten mussels all over the world and mussels don't usually taste fishy" The server, lips very tight told us haughtily, the mussels are fresh. She took them away in anger and tossed them. She had a very polite busboy and another server serve us for the rest of the meal, which was a relief for us. My niece and I had already ordered the linguini alla pescatore so it was too late to change our mind away from seafood. My niece called hers bland, mine was bland but salty. I ate half of mine because I was hungry but it was perhaps the worst linguini plate I can recall eating at a nice restaurant. On a good note, My mother ordered veal picatta and it was excellent (although my Mom got some attitude when she asked if they had gluten free pasta). My sister-in-law ordered the special stuffed chicken with goat cheese and also loved hers. My Mom told the new younger red-headed server it was my sister-in-laws birthday and she got a little whipped cream with a candle in it. The birthday girl ordered a dessert for two, Zabaglioni perhaps and I am the only one who could eat it, my sisiter-in-law didn't see it had alcohol in it, my neice tried it and didn't like it, I thought it was lovely. The woman was frosty as we left. It cost my Mom about $188.00 with tip ($28 tip) but no alcohol and a couple coffees. All four of us not only wouldn't recommend it but would warn people against it.
