| - Ok.. I really really really wanted to like this restaurant but it just wasn't that great. The ambiance was lovely (a little dark) and I enjoyed the artwork. We made a reservation and were seated at the high tops near the bar. It took a very long time to get anyone to take our drink order ok fine, they were busy so I was still optimistic. I ordered the seasonal mushrooms and polenta my friend ordered the bread board. They had a fork on the table and the giant serving spoon the dish came with. Those were my options because the waitress didn't come back until I had finished eating it (I went with the giant spoon)VERY MESSY ! But amazing. The bread didn't come until I was done with the polenta which took quite a while because I could barely fit the giant spoon in my mouth. I ordered the roasted chicken and broccoli rabe . I was starving and very excited, they placed my food in front of me ..no fork. He took it when he cleared my plate and said he'd bring another. I sat for about 15 minutes and when I did taste it, it was horrible. I was very sad because I was so hungry. I had waited all day and my chicken was flavorless and as dry as the Sahara. The broccoli rabe.. I have no clue what happened here. I can usually stomach anything but I could not eat it. It had the flavor of oysters or some sort of seafood. I tried to use my flashlight to examine what the heck was in there but I have no clue. I ordered an additional side because it was inedible. The brussel sprouts were decent . My friends ordered the spaghetti and the fettuccini. One kind of enjoyed the spaghetti the other hated the fettuccini. I tasted a mushroom from their dish and and it was very good but it's not the white fettuccini people are used to seeing and he was being dramatic and said it was stroganoff. The rosé snow cone was pretty. So I asked my friends what their final thoughts were they said..well the tea was good. The spaghetti was half eaten, the chicken I did attempt to eat, the fettuccini went virtually untouched, the bread was pretty much untouched. And I know these people..they can eat! So I will say that I know this establishment is new and it will get better with time but the service was bad. It took a very long time to get anyone to take our drink order, get me a normal size spoon,the bread, a fork, the check, to return my debit card. I most likely will not return unless it's just for a drink.
