| - As mentioned by another Yelper, once we walked in, we were greeted and asked if we had a reservation. I overheard that there was a special for making a reservation and being sat before 6pm, but that was all. I could not make out anything else.
While we did not have an allotted time, we were sat quickly. Those who do not call ahead, or use Open Table, were sat at the front of the restaurant. This is not a bad spot by no means, because people walking in and out did not cause a stir. Some places, the door table is a dreaded spot, but I hardly noticed anyone until the staff greeted them.
The food is ok. Fresh warm bread with an olive tapanade is served right away. We started with the calamari appetizer ($11). The squid was tender and fried to a light brown. It would be perfect if it possessed some flavor. Neither the batter nor sauce tasted like much. No lemon to spruce it up either. My friend ordered the Veal Florentine ($24) and it was lackluster. For this price, it was rather skimpy. The sauteed spinach with garlic was fantastic. I got the Shrimp Fra Diavolo ($22) and was not knocked off my feet. The sauce has a nice spiciness, but the shrimp was overcooked.
Our waitress was nice, but seemed flustered. She wasn't around too much, but was kind when present.
