  • I HATE HATE HATE giving places one star. Especially restaurants. There is just no way to avoid this - everything from beginning to end was miserable. The best part was leaving ... an hour and a half later. Fine things of the evening: 1. Location - I'm all for trying different places in "meh" areas. This was one of those for sure. There was a lot of construction so finding and parking was probably a little more difficult than normal. But whatever. We parked on the street. 2. We were promptly greeted by the bartender (the only prompt thing that happened that evening) - who escorted us to a four top in the corner. So far so good. Now --- onto the not so fine. 1. We sat & sat & sat to the point where I wondered if we had to go to the bar to order drinks. 2. There were 3 people on the floor. A server, bartender, and busser/food runner 3. I'm not sure what the bartender's role really was as he literally made two martinis the entire time we were there, did not help anyone, and had no one at his bar. He could have very easily picked up the slack of the server but was sitting back there polishing glasses or was absent 4. While we sat and waited to order the food runner ran the wrong food to the wrong tables. It happens - no big deal. But the server did not use proper candor in handling this. The one gentleman was 3/4 done and ready for a box by time his correct side of pasta came out. She did not approach him and tell him what happened. He just kept looking around for her and she did not approach him. 5. We ordered an app and food at the same time. Got our app (stuffed hot peppers) rather quickly. Didn't look like the normal stuffed hot peppers. There was no red sauce with them - But, they were pretty good. 6. It took an additional 35 mins for us to get our food. Mind you, the entire time the only person on the floor is the food runner. The one server was absent from the floor for 10-15 mins at a time.There were very obviously 3 tables looking for her at a time. It took FOREVER for these tables to get their checks presented and then to pay 7. The food itself. We both got veal dishes. I got Veal parm and he got the Veal Caprese. Both were so breaded it was hard to actually enjoy the tenderness and flavor of the veal itself. and on top of that the breading had no flavor and tasted burnt. The sauce surrounding the veal parm was definitely burnt. I tried the side of pasta hoping for some sort of meal revival --- the sauce was so tangy I only had a bite. Most of my food was still on the plate when they came over to box it (I didn't take it), My boyfriend said his veal was also pretty flavorless and overly breaded. 8. The food runner who was probably 16-18 was in charge of running food and cleaning/resetting tables. It was very obvious where the food was supposed to go was not communicated between her and the server as she walked around the floor with plates auctioning them off to incorrect tables. She approached tables asking "Do you want boxes" and them walking away touching her hair in between bringing out more food. I wanted dessert but after waiting forever for the food I decided to just give up and leave completely unhappy. We got there at 7 and finally left around 8:30. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It missed the mark on service,food, atmosphere (which i didn't really expect going in).
