| - We went there a couple of days ago because we had a Groupon, and we wanted to try it.
The restaurant is owned by a family of Italian descent, and the decorations reminded me of an old restaurant in Venice: old and somewhat kitsch. There were a lot of old couples there when we dined, not exactly the best fit for someone in their 20's.
I ordered the Chicken Andiamo, which is nothing more than chicken Parmesan with blue cheese and a couple of tiny pieces of prosciutto. The chicken was tender and it tasted fine, nothing spectacular, but I think I would have enjoyed one of their pasta dishes better.
We asked for our check, which turned out to be $4.67 after the Groupon was applied. I handed my card (we had no cash on us) and the lady (the owner) told us she doesn't take cards for under $5. I asked her to run it for $5 and she turned into a bitter, angry woman, telling us how she'd have to pay more taxes on that and she can't run it. She left our table, only to return a few minutes later and see if we magically found some cash to pay her instead. I handed my card again, asking her to run it for more than the original amount, and she snatched the bill saying "I can't afford to lose any more money than I already am". Obviously, she did not see the value of the Groupon, if she feels she is losing money by having new customers come in as a result of it. In our case, she sure lost money - she convinced us to never go back there again.
To summarize:
Food - 6/10
Service - 1/10
Ambiance - 6/10
Location - 5/10
Not going back.
