While the staff is friendly and amiable, the food is below par and service slow.
Seven of us went on a slow week night (Game 2 of Indians/Cubs World Series). It was my daughter's birthday so had to give up the first few innings for her.
Our server was attentive and friendly. The salad was soggy with way too much dressing. Lasagna was just plain bad. Noodles were overcooked to the point of mush. The chicken lemon was the best dish we had and was actually pretty darn good.
It seemed to take forever between the salad and entree.
I have been to Buca in the past but it seems to have gone down hill to the point where I do not plan to return.
