| - Visited Peoria location Monday evening for dinner. Hadn't been to Buca for quite some time, so decided to give it a try.
Our waiter was fantastic. Jarrett was attentive to our table, very pleasant, and did a fine job; no complaints regarding the service.
Quality of the food was not ideal. We ordered our favorite item off their menu, the apple Gorgonzola salad. Unfortunately, the produce was not the freshest. The lettuce was a bit brown and my wife actually picked some pieces off. I still ate it; but whole time I'm looking around a very empty restaurant, one that I remember as always having to wait to get a table, and wondering if this decline of quality is reason why only a handful of tables were seated. Our pasta dish, the spicy chicken rigatoni, was fine; no complaints there.
Hope our experience this time is the exception rather than the rule as I remember really enjoying the place when they first came into the valley. But looking at the number of tables sat, and cars in the parking lot compared to other restaurants in the immediate area, I'm thinking it may be indicative of overall current quality. Hope they turn it around.
