| - I was underwhelmed with my experience from the service to the food. Perhaps I had too high of expectations after reading the reviews.
SERVICE - We had a party of four and made our reservation online through Open Table. Our table was available when I arrived, which was up against the closed garage door. The table was situated in such a way that servers were constantly bumping into my chair as they navigated through the the area. Drinks weren't refilled without asking and plates were not cleared until after we made payment on the check (even then, only two of the four plates were left)
FOOD - We started with the octopus appetizer based on reviews and the fact that we are lovers of octopus! :) With four of us sharing a single appetizer, we found that we had "leftovers" that nobody was eager to gobble up.
I ordered the Lasagna al forno bolognese, as it was highlighted that it was seen on Food Network's "Beat Bobby Flay". It arrived piping hot, so much so that I couldn't eat it for quite some time. Once I was able to dig in, I was disappointed. The only flavor that was prominent to me was the garlic and it lacked the layers of flavor that one would hope lasagna to have. Others at the table had salmon, roasted chicken and sea bass and all felt that while good, it was average for the price point.
All in all, it is a decent spot for dinner, however I find in Downtown Gilbert, there are better food places that cost much less.
