  • The tone for the evening was set when we were "greeted" at the hostess stand by the very old, very cold and rude, very judgmental "hostess." It was actually surprising to be met by such a cranky, rude and inappropriate old woman as the "face" of the restaurant. All I could imagine was that she must have been the wife of the owner because no other owner in their right mind would allow that person to greet people, certainly not at an Italian restaurant where the host is usually friendly and warm. She couldn't find our reservation so she assumed we were making it up and decided to behave as though we had just been released from federal prison for the felony of lying to get seated on a Saturday night. Then the suited manager came over and surprisingly, was useless and could barely articulate a sentence, not because he was Italian (which I doubted) but rather because he was somewhat of a dullard who had nothing to say. But, the hostess witch finally found our reservation, only after I quickly scanned the reservation book and pointed it out to her and without an apology or even an acknowledgement of her inappropriate attitude, she walked us to the table without saying a word. Like she annoyed that I was being honest and she was doing us a big favor. The food? I'm Italian and I've traveled around the world many times, and this tasted like what I imagine Olive Garden would be like. Over-cooked gluey pasta, veal drenched it too much sauce and tasteless. My wife's halibut was so overcooked it was tough to cut through, very unusual for fish. I will say that the waiter who had worked there for decades was very friendly so that was the ONLY pleasant thing about the experience. It is impossible for me to understand how this place gets any favorable ratings. By good or great Italian food and atmosphere standards, it's truly disappointing. Anyway, never again. Wouldn't consider returning under any circumstances. By old school Italian standards, Avanti's runs circles around this place in every way. I would highly recommend ignoring the positive Yelp reviews and going somewhere else. You'll be doing yourselves a favor avoiding having to eat and pay for this slop or endure their frontline staff.
