| - This place was just one disappointment after another. First off, they have a very limited lunch menu. I'm one of those that always check out the menu and have in mind what I wanted to order before going to a restaurant and when we sat down and was handed the menu, we really wanted to jump up and leave ... we should have.
My boyfriend couldn't decide what he wanted and he finally decided on the fettucine and the waiter was like, nah, you don't want that, you want the spaghetti and meatballs. So fine, we agreed... what a huge mistake... the sauce was watery and the meatballs were dry that my boyfriend couldn't even eat it.
When we told the waiter hey, FYI, you may want to recommend something else to your patrons next time because this was not good. The waiter (Joseph, I think), instead of being apologetic was like "well, everyone else likes it." Really??!!! Why are you so defensive, it's not like you cooked the meatballs!
So, we swear we would never go back but unfortunately we were invited to a birthday dinner and that was the place the birthday boy wanted to go. We didn't want to ruin it for him and maybe the second time would be better... WRONG.
We walked in and get seated and guess who our server is... Joseph or whatever his name was...bald guy from Chicago. The reason why I know it's the bald guy from Chicago because as soon as he found out that we were from Sacramento, CA all he wanted to talk about was how far our Giants was going to get vs his Chicago Cubs. We asked for water 5 times and the dude was too busy talking (spitting too, may I add) about who we got and who his team has...Mistake #1
Also, instead of getting our water, he wanted to comment on my shirt by saying, "oh you like Michael Jackson" as he does the hip forward head back Jackson move. I'm like, I'm wearing a Barrett Jackson shirt which has nothing to do with Michael Jackson. In my mind I really wanted to say, "Why don't you just do your job and bring us our water that we have been waiting for for like 1/2 hour now." But I refrain because we haven't received our food yet either and you don't want to pisst off your waiter before you get your food... Mistake #2
Then he brings us bottled water which none of us asked for. He brought us 5 bottles and none of us like bubbly water. We just want regular water. We were like, hey, we didn't order so we ain't paying for it. He said fine, he's got it covered. We left three bottles untouched but the cap was open...I hope he doesn't serve it to another table...that was mistake #3.
Mistake #4, one of our friends ordered a bread appetizer for herself, he somehow dediced to bring out four orders for the entire table and charged.
Dinner dishes were a hit and miss. Mine was good but I ordered it off the menu. Apparently, even though they have not been open for very long, they have already changed their menu. A lot of the things that you see on Yelp, they do not have on their menu anymore. Several of our friends did not finish their dishes because they said it was very bland.
If you want to gamble (pun intended) and hope you get a professional waiter or order the good dish, by all means, give it a try, otherwise, I would put my $$ elsewhere.
