First off, the waitress seated us and immediately poured oil and balsamic for the bread and yet, no bread came until after we ordered 15 minutes later. (I hate when restaurants wait for you to order to bring out bread/chips!) The bread they brought out were breadsticks that I swear I've had at some other restaurant. If you're called 'gourmet' I expect you to be making and baking everything from scratch. We ordered a cheese plate that consisted of cheese and crackers that I'm sure they bought at Wal-Mart. Three different types of bland cheddar and a bland brie. The Caesar Salad was literally the best part of the meal. Shaved parmesean and what looked like homemade croutons. (Really? Homemade croutons but not homemade bread?) I got Spaghetti and Meatballs and my wife ordered Fettucine Alfredo and we could have had less bland and much better food with the Classico that is in our pantry. My meatballs were dry and the alfredo was very runny. I went here because I had a Groupon and it's near my house but I probably wouldn't go back again. I read the other reviews and let me say, the service was fine and we were seated right away. The appetizer, salad, and entres all came out within a reasonable amount of time so there's no complaints there. The decor and music were just fine but I really can't get past the food.
