| - I saw amazing reviews on Yelp, so decided to go here. I left very confused how these reviews came about.
We ordered cocktails, which were tasty. We also ordered an appetizer, carpaccio. We promptly received that and bread. Those were both fine. We waited what seemed like an eternity for our server to come back to our table to order. I watched him go to every table around us a couple times while we received our appetizer, ate it, and a busser took the plate before I flagged him down so we could order.
My friend ordered the lasagna, which tasted like a Wendy's cheeseburger. Seriously, my friend said try it and tell me what fast food it tastes like. I laughed and then tasted it to find it tasted exactly like a double stack, but 10 times the price. I ordered the pollo salute that was described as chicken topped with marscapone, prosciutto, and a brandy mushroom sauce. I didn't find any marscapone or prosciutto on top, but there was a mushroom sauce that reminded me of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup. I was certain they followed the recipe on the can. I had a side of penne pasta covered in the bland marinara and vegetables. The vegetables were good. I didn't really understand the pasta in marinara since the chicken had a sauce already on it. Why the two completely different sauces?
I asked for more bread to fill myself up because I didn't want to finish my food and it was taken away after I ate one piece. It was terrible service and since I used a restaurant.com gift certificate, gratuity was automatically added on. The food was terrible. How did it get all these great reviews? It was like one of our exes was the chef that night and wanted us to have the worst meal ever. I don't know how else to explain the the huge difference between what we experienced and what has been written on Yelp.
