I had pretty high expectations for this place when we first walked in because clearly a lot of money went into fancying the atmosphere here.
We went somewhere between lunch and dinner but the hostess who sat us said "two for dinner" which is where my first deduction comes in. The menus were two sided 11x17, vertical, stained and seemed to cheap for the presentation of the restaurant. Typically dinner menus for pricier restaurants are put together a little nicer. I was also kind of disappointed that a specialty Italian restaurant didn't even have bruschetta :(. Well I guess my real disappointment came from the fact that the menu was mostly pizza and pasta.
Our waitress, Jasmine, was a super highlight with her high energy and attentiveness. She was very sweet and personable and kind of actually looked like Jasmine from Aladdin haha.
Unfortunately the food could have been better. Our bread appetizer only came with some oil. I personally prefer butter... everyone likes a little butter with their bread right? At least it was freshly baked. Also, with the potatoes being the only side offered with sandwiches, and on the same plate, the oil made our bread soggy and pretty unappetizing. The potatoes were very good on their own but my chicken breast seemed kind of bland and poorly marinated.
We may return in the future to try other menu items since we have a gift card and hopefully everything will come together.
