| - This place has always been one of my more favorite places to eat over the years. Last night was the exception.
There were 9 of us for very special 15th birthday party dinner for Ashley. We also broke Stan (Ashleys Grand Ffather) out of his rehabillitation facility to join us as a family meal would not be complete without him. For dinner and we had a slew of food, all of which was great as expected, see below.
The down side was the service. It was just terrible! The waitress added in the 18% gratuity so knowing full well she was going to get paid well for a large party, paying attention to us was a second thought. There were far too many other tables to attend to where the gratuity would have to be earned and not just added on automatically.
Both Melissa and Ryan had to play "waitress/waiter" and get refills for our water and ice tea, as if this was something they were reuired to do. Where was our waitress? Who knew?
As far as the food goes, we had 2 trays of Calimari, Cheesey Garlic Bread and a large mixed salad. Delicious!
For the entree we chose Lobster Spaghetti, Chicken Carbonara and Baked Ziti. Again, Delicious! The Carbonara was the bomb!!
The food alone is what allows this to rate a 2 star evening. The service tore it apart and stopped any kind of positive statement to be made. Sorry guys, you need to get your wait staff in check.
We brought our own dessert, a store bought birthday cake which allowed us to opt out of their offerings. They are usually quite good though!
Overall, I still love this place for the quality of the food and will certainly go back. Lets see how they change by the next time we all return. Enjoy!!
