| - I really, really wanted to like this place. My dining partner and I were looking forward to using our Groupon after reading so many great reviews.
The restaurant is a little bit hidden, but had an inviting look to it. We liked the ambience inside as well.
Our appetizer (goat cheese & slow roasted tomatoes crustini) came out aboout 20 minutes after ordering. After the first bite, we were both underwhelmed. The crustini was very simple. Something that could be made at home with few ingredients and little effort, but cost $9.50. However, we were both willing to look past it and were excited for our entrées.
My chicken panini was not bad, but nothing special. Although, I might just be spoiled, having tasted Postino's paninis. My dining partner had a different chicken panini with buffalo sauce and gorgonzola. There was so much buffalo sauce it made the sandwich soggy and unenjoyable.
While the waitress was very nice, she was nowhere to be seen half of the time. Maybe she had taken a break, but we had to wait another 15-20 minutes to get the check after we finished.
This place has potential, but is lacking on some key points that make a great dining experience. Sadly, I do not think we will be returning.
