We waited at the bar and ordered some drinks off the happy hour menu which was an excellent value. The red sangria was amazing although a lot of the small pieces of fruit were orange peels that you can't actually eat. Anyways, how do you not allow a party to transfer the tab over to the table???!? Seriously, with all the technological advances why would you inconvenience the customer so? The bartender also rudely informed us we were not allowed to order any happy hour apps since we were moving to a table. I must say I was relieved that the night began to take a turn for the better. We had the calamari, the shrimp scampi, the platter of meats, the prosciutto, and the special flatbread pizza as appetizers. The prosciutto and the meats were the best apps although I'd order all of them again. I was more impressed with the complimentary bread and the appetizers than I was with my entree of linguine and clams which was pretty standard. Good amount of clams and good pasta but it is hard to over deliver on such a dish. The tiramisu was excellent and a nice portion. Overall, the apps are a 5, the entree 4, and the service was a dud. If you're not in a hurry and don't need a lot of attentiveness from you're waiter, then this place ultimately is a great value, especially in the location. Sounds like they need some better management and logistics.
