| - The food (I had the Porto salad, shrimp and scallop pasta, and the bread and oil thing) was extraordinarily bland, oddly and unpleasantly sweet, and completely without seasoning. The restaurant was freezing. Our waiter was as bland as the food (sorry, it may have been his first night).
The bread is clearly not baked in house, is largely flavorless, and the "house oil" that came with it is low-grade olive oil with red pepper flakes.
The Porto salad was a monstrosity of iceberg lettuce and flavorless cheese chunks with disturbingly crunchy chunks of "meat." The dressing (I ordered the blackberry vinaigrette) was sugary, NOT a vinaigrette, and flavorless.
My entree was cold, but I will say that when I asked him to heat it up, it came back at a better (though still not ideal) temperature. Store-bought and very sweet vodka sauce, a splat of some kind of green herb on the side, but no flavor present in the dish. Not bad, but nothing special. The scallops and shrimp were cooked well!
Also, INCREDIBLY OVERPRICED.
