| - Went for anniversary dinner, but experience was underwhelming. Our waiter's accent was so thick that we struggled to understand him. He stepped away in the middle of us ordering and 10 minutes after we ordered sangria, he came back to ask what we had ordered.
The shrimp ceviche was very good. The eggplant croquettes were just mushy and burnt. My husband ordered paella, but what they brought him was obviously risotto. We decided not to say anything. My chicken parm was mediocre...too thick and tough. Pasta sauce was not very flavorful.
Eventually a manager type came over and asked, "How is the paella without the saffron?" We told her that it wasn't paella, and she told us that they ran out of saffron, so they made it without. When I said it was risotto, she admitted that they used risotto. After a bunch of excuses, she and the waiter walked away.
She eventually came back and offered a dessert, which we accepted. It was a flan-like custard. It was very thick, not silky like the flan we are used to. That just might be the Italian version.
They may get one more chance, but not likely. There are too many good places to go to without spending money on mediocrity.
Oh, and if you're wondering about attire...business casual is appropriate. We saw some people in shorts and flip flops, but they looked out of place.
Small outdoor seating area is probably good for people watching.
