| - Never again.
We made reservations for 5:45 on a Saturday night, definitely did not need a reservation though, the place was dead. We were told to sit wherever we wanted, we chose a booth in the lounge. The decor was nice, pretty typical for a small Italian restaurant.
The service was awkward but I think the server was new, he didn't mess anything up, he just did odd things. Like he took our order and had to come back again because he forgot what my boyfriend had ordered. After our meals were delivered (by someone else) our server came by and said "once your pasta arrives, do you want cheese? OH! It's already here! I'm blind!". We chose to laugh about the slightly bizarre service, we have both been the new kid before too.
I liked the rolls that came before dinner but the oil/vinegar bottles were both leaky so made a mess of our hands and the table.
I had the balsamic chicken, I really liked that this restaurant offers an under 650 calorie menu, as I wasn't starving and not really in the mood for pasta it was a good choice. I thought it had a good flavor and I enjoyed what I ate of it, I wasn't super hungry and had already had a lot of bread.
My boyfriend had pesto chicken pasta, I noticed him doing something strange during the meal, he kept taking a bite of his meal and then pulling pieces of chicken out of his mouth and putting it on the bread plate. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I don't know, it's like cartilage or something, it's just...not good". He did finish the dish though (except for the ever growing pile of chewed chicken on the bread plate).
We left and agreed that we wouldn't be back.
Unfortunately, the reason for this place doesn't even deserve the 1-star, midnight found us both on the bathroom floor. Him, projectile vomiting from a textbook case of food poisoning and me playing nurse. Great way to end our Saturday date night.
