| - I frankly can't believe that so many reviewers gave this joint a good review. We arrive there this past Saturday night at 5:30 p.m. to take advantage of their half-price appetizers, which are over at 6 p.m. It took a good ten minutes for the waitress to come get our drink order. ($2.95 for a tiny glass of diet coke...I don't care if it's refillable...you can get diet coke in any number of nice restaurants, without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.) It took another ten minutes to get the drinks. She asked if we were ready to order and when we said we wanted the half-price appetizers, she had the nerve to look at her watch and say it was 6 and that she would have to check to see if she could serve them half price. Well, it WASN'T 6, it was 10 to 6. As I started to give my order, the first word out of my mouth was that we needed separate checks. My friend ordered the stuffed pepper appetizer and I ordered a half salad, with a side of grilled Portobello mushrooms. One of our friends ordered a flatbread appetizer and the other ordered the Portobello appetizer drizzled with balsamic vinegar. We waited for our food. And waited. And waited. We finally called over one of the other waiters, after about twenty minutes, to ask where the food was. Well, lo and behold, it came right out!!! Instead of bringing me the grilled portobellos, as requested, they brought me the Portobello appetizer. When I told the fellows who brought out the food, that my order was wrong, they quickly fixed it, so that was good. I asked my friend how her stuffed pepper was, and, while she told me it tasted good, she only had a tiny piece of sausage "stuffed" in the pepper. My friend who ordered the flatbread appetizer was satisfied, as was I with my salad. My other friend, who had ordered the Portobello appetizer, then ordered a pizza with the fellow (yes, we never saw our waitress again!), and we had to wait ANOTHER half hour for the pizza. No wonder there were empty tables there on a Saturday night...other people must have experienced their wonderful service, too. Stay away from this place...if you want a gluten-free pizza, ask Whole Foods to bake you one...I guarantee you will be happy with it.
P.S. Of course, it came with one check...but, once again, the fellows who were helping us were nice and separated the checks.
