Have only gotten takeout previously and wish I had stuck with that. It's always been convenient, on my husband's way home from work for days I run out of time to cook. But last night we stopped in for dinner because of a coupon we received via email. Wish we hadn't!
It wasn't extremely busy, several empty tables a little before 6 and we were seated right away. Asked for a booster seat for our toddler and was informed they didn't have any. Minus 1 star. Kid friendly to me suggests accommodating to children's needs. Most restaurants offer crayons and such. But not here. Luckily we do carry things with us for these just in case moments but not having a booster seat is just unheard of in a family restaurant! Oh and they don't offer any sort of juice for kids, or so we were told. Our waitress offered soda, milk or water. The only thing for kids here is a small section on the menu. I'm sorry but in my opinion not kid friendly.
We attempted to order an item listed on the coupon list but was informed they were out of it already! It wasn't even 6 and they ran out of one of their specials already?!? Minus another star. We ended up ordering two appetizers and two pizzas.
Our server asked if we had a preference on order of items to come out and we said no. Thank goodness we didn't ask for appetizers first! Out came the firecrackers rolls with Misto salad on the side. They were good, but nothing to write home about. Deep fried, won ton wrapped items served with marinara sauce and a salad on the side. We don't order deep fried foods for takeout so this was a treat. Salad was overdressed and really wilted. Shortly thereafter both pizzas came out. Crust was good as always, SO much better fresh than for takeout! But the Bianca pizza didn't have any garlic on it as listed in the menu. We would have told our server but she seemed to have disappeared at this point, after having refilled our beverages. We saw her again when we were almost through with our meal and then oh yah! That stuffed portobello mushroom we ordered came out! Minus another star. It was OK. Thinly sliced spicy sausage intermingled in the sauce that drowned the mushroom and covered the plate. Way too much sauce for the small portobello that was interestingly bottom down on the plate. Guess I'm just used to a "stuffed" mushroom to have the cap upside down and literally stuffed rather than sauce poured over the top and topped with cheese.
We will go back again only because it's one of the few restaurants in the area that we've found to be convenient, have great salads when dressing is on the side and moderately priced for as often as I run out of time to cook during the week!
