Just came back from dinner there. Let me preface by saying I had a gift certificate and without it am not sure I would have gone. Regardless. I'm not sure if I can write an essay but there are a number of things that jumped out at me. First and foremost, how friendly the owners are. Both husband and wife came to our table separately to chat. The other wait staff was ok, friendly but not out of the ordinary. Since bread usually comes first ... I have to say I was a bit disappointed being used to the piping hot loaves at Carabbas, or or other places that have a variety of rolls. These were like ordinary sliced white bread without much flavor. The specials sounded good but the server didn't give the prices till I asked specifically. MH was surprised not to see Corona in the beer selections. He also wanted the filet mignon which they were out of. He settled for the sole (which was good he said) and I had the Chicken Caprese special, but I had to make a special request to get basil included. Which seemed a bit counter intuitive but anyway. I wasn't crazy about it, or the wine sauce it came in. What I really wish had been different was the fact that it didn't come with pasta, but potatoes and vegetables. Not what I'd expect at an Italian restaurant. Sure, if it was a choice ... but it wasn't. Oh, and I didn't see pesto or alfredo sauce anywhere in the menu. Suffice it to say the owners are very nice but even that may not be enough to get me back. I like being excited over leftovers and tonight I'm just not. I did get a piece of cheesecake to bring home. Since it's going to be consumed in the next half hour I may have something to add ...
