| - We got there around 1830 on a Saturday night. We did not have reservations. That's the first thing they asked us, no problem. We were seated in this awkward space to the side of the hostess stand where people would constantly bump up against you when they went to ask for a table. There really should not have been a table there at all. Too much traffic. However, there was a light above us, so we could actually see our menu and meals. I saw other patrons using their cellphone lights to read their menus.
Our waiter was very nice and not intrusive. He seemed very busy, though. There were several large groups that came in and they seemed to be the priority. Again, not a huge problem.
The food, however, was pretty terrible. I opted for one of their table d'hote options, which was a salad or soup and a main dish. I also thought it was supposed to come with dessert, but I never was offered any, so perhaps not. I got their osso buco as my main dish, upon consulting the larger menu, which said it was a house specialty. It came with either penne in a red sauce or vegetables. The osso buco was in a super salty brown sauce, although the meat fell off the bone. The penne was cooked well, but the red sauce lacked any depth of flavor, even with cheese sprinkled on top. My husband got penne with sausage and broccolini in a butter cream sauce. He also said it was one dimensional and lacking in flavor. There was nothing interesting in any of the food we ate, and I was especially unimpressed with the "house specialty". I saw a waiter walk by with a pizza that looked good, but dang. Overall, we spent $65 including tip on a pretty awful meal.
