| - My girlfriend and I stopped into this place last Thursday evening. We were expecting a romantic evening for two with some delightful food, instead we were bombarded with the hairy eyeball from the numerous patrons and servers there. Could have possibly been the sight of my abs, I know it promotes jealousy among people when I sport a half-shirt muscle shirt. Anywho, we ordered the blazing hot chicken wings, french onion soup, and some oiled peppers appetizer. The former two were absolutely delightful.
The oiled peppers though...well, the description read that various peppers would be "drizzled" with oil, and served with Ciabatta. Instead we received what looked like an oil soup containing rather large slices of a single pepper, maybe 2 other peppers in there; the Ciabatta reminded me of the mutant croutons I experienced in some sad diner in Maine. Suffice to say it took about half an hour before we could even dig into this disappointing dish due to the scalding temperature of the obviously generic restaurant grade oil. Stay far away from this dish if possible, it did not bring back happy memories of my youth in Sicily...more like nightmares of my previous life where I was tarred and feathered for stealing a croissant from a traveling baker.
Lastly, we had 6 servers who obviously did not confer with each other that they had the same table; as such, we were inquired on our status every 30 seconds. I know some people need validation that they are important to the world around them nearly all the time, but I already know this, so this was indubitably not required from the staff. I hope they weren't displeased with the $6 tip I left them, times can get rough in West Akron, let me tell you.
