| - Gulp! For a dinner that started off so promising. So the fiancée and I went here on a Tuesday night (which is their $5.99 spaghetti night). We wanted to try their food because we thought they might be an option as a caterer for our wedding based on a few loose recommendations.
We pulled into the parking lot and it was fairly crowded for a Tuesday in December.
We sat quickly and Bobbi our sever was prompt with drinks and service all night.
The fiancée and I were debating on food, as we wanted to try some dishes that we saw on the catering menu. So we were going to go with chicken Marsala and baked ziti. Well Bobbi heard us talking about the chicken diablo (which is made with Marsala wine). She said it was very tasty, I asked if it was similar to the Marsala, and no was the answer. Order was in and we were psyched!!!
Salad and wedding soup were to the table faster than the flash.
Wedding soup was above average and dinner salad well was a side salad, no issues. But the star was the blue cheese. It was CHUNKY!! Just the way I liked it, and at this point I thought we may have found a caterer, then the drop came.
Dinner came out, the Marsala and side of spaghetti for the fiancée and my Chicken Diablo. We looked at each other with a puzzled look, which our waitress noticed. The Marsala & diablo were literally the same dish except mine had banana peppers and pasta in the dish instead of on the side.
So we ventured into this dishes hoping they would be tantalizing. The red sauce for pasta, was passable.
The Marsala and Diablo both had more bell peppers than mushrooms, (now I've never eaten my Marsala with peppers and now I know why). Mushrooms should be the star of this dish. Also the chicken in both dishes tasted like frozen chicken tenders that were heated in the microwave, with that hard microwave chicken taste. So an epic fail on entrees.
Now I will give them this Bobbi was a great server, and food came out prompt. We were there for only 45 minutes. But we thought it was weird that the parking lot was packed at 630 and at 715 it looked like a ghost town when we left.
So moral to the trip if you like American Italian from 20 years ago, (or don't like seasoning) you are in luck. But for $55 bill if rather spend my dollar elsewhere and pick a different caterer.
