My hubby and I and 2 other couples set out for a night of drinking and eating in Little Italy. We really didn't have a plan of where to go and I wish I would have researched it more. We decided on this restaurant because it was busy, the food smelled good and they could get 6 of in after a short wait.
The service at the bar getting a pre-dinner drinks was extremely slow, not sure how long one much stand in front of the bartender before being asked what I want to drink. We are fairly quick service to place our orders for appetizers and dinner, but then sat and waited and waited for our food to come out. Our server didn't come around at all to refresh our drinks. Many at the table ordered salad with our entrees and they came out all together. Not only is that annoying to have your salad next to your entree crowding the table, but I figured that is restaurant 101 to serve appetizers first, followed by salad, then entrees.
I ordered a caesar salad and the seafood risotto special. The caesar salad was wilting and tasted like it had been tossed in the dressing and left to sit for an hour before getting to our table. I was really excited about the risotto, but it lacked any flavor.
I'm not sure why this place was so packed.
