| - When we arrived, we were asked whether we wanted flat or bubbly water. My friends opted for bubbly, while I asked for flat. Our waiter then promptly tried to open a bottle of flat water, which I would've been charged for, which reminded me of tourist traps in foreign countries where they try to charge you for everything under the sun. We then informed him that our friend was running late, so we would be ordering wine and appetizers first and waiting for her to arrive to order our mains. Upon hearing this, he advised that he had to check if this was okay with management, since they have a 1.5 to 2 hour seating limit (and they do, but only on weekends and *not* on Thursday evenings, which is when we went). Overall, not the friendliest welcome.
Our waiter did get friendlier as the night progressed, but it turned into a creepy vibe, as he constantly hovered over our table and made jokes about listening in on our conversation.
The food was decent. I shared the vodka penne and four cheese pizza with my friend. The atmosphere was okay. I guess I'm giving this place two stars only because of the erratic service, which started cool and ended as what I can only describe as intrusively friendly.
