As I write this review I hope the restaurant reads the comments objectively. I'm a big supporter of small business and do hope they succeed.
The good:
- Appetizers, specifically the polenta and the olive dish are great
- The decor
- The fact that it's a nice change on Gerrard
The bad:
- Really poorly run service, we witnessed so many people walking in and waiting for an unacceptably long period of time to be seated, food took far too long to come to the table, we had empty cups for the entire dinner service and we witnessed several people get up to find staff to settle their bill
- Deep fried pizza is far too salty and oily! Someone else commented on the fact that it feels like the oil has just been sitting on the pizza for a while and I sadly have to agree
- Bringing your child to work when you clearly don't know how to handle a busy restaurant, I'm hoping this was an emergency and that's why they had their crying daughter at work but until they can serve customers in a timely fashion I would say it's a bad idea to bring your kid to work - you have enough on your plate, why make this more difficult for yourself.
Finally, I do hope they address some of these issues and succeed as I feel the potential for something great is there.
