Dad, w/my 2 /teen kids, looking to blow a Groupon on a Thursday night at a sports-bar themed place called Santisi Brothers. Sounds easy enough, right? Now, factor in Thursday Night Football (the kind where your cable bill is EXTRA to get these special Thursday night games so EVERYONE hits the sports bar/grill), and picture a tatt-loving, mostly smoking clientele, who flood the place and take all the available indoor seating. So where does that put us?
ON THE PATIO...where smokers temporarily reside while leaving their reserved tables inside. Nice way to show the kids a quality time, experience, take them to the smoking section...
So, kids, let's just sit outside here, watch the game on these nice HD big screens, kinda nice by ourselves...and the obnoxious cigarette smoke! Clearly, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time (dad in bar w/kids during PM football)!
Yet, that being said, Santisi does a great job of making affordable beer drinking and eating good quality food while the layman gets his mid-week NFL fix. The manager recognized how we stood out like a sore thumb (that is, a sore thumb enshrouded in cigarette smoke), and very graciously kept an eye on us and even provided complimentary desserts to my kids, who instantly became life-long fans of Santisi Bros!
The service (Alysia) was solid, punctual, and quite easy on the eyes, too! Pizza and Chef Salad were fresh, perfect temp's, and presented nicely. I will definitely go back, but not with kids. Nice staff as well, and they did their best to make the family feel welcome.
