| - I'm of two minds about this restaurant. In some ways the customer service was great; in other ways, it was not.
First off, when I made our reservation, I was asked many questions about our group's needs: high chairs or stroller space for the children? Any special diets in the group? Any other special needs?
The morning of our lunch, the restaurant called me to confirm the reservation and our needs, which was nice.
When we arrived, though, our table had not been set up for us, and once we were seated we had to wait quite a while for our drinks.
The food, however was good. I had the prawn linguini -- light and tasty, but it was struck me as odd that the entrées came with nothing. No "side salad", no vegetables, no bread.
I ordered an arugula salad - which was quite good - but it just seemed strange that an entrée would come without an accompanying side dish or bread.
Pasta without bread? It feels like the customer is being "nickled and dimed" by having to order and pay extra for bread.
Again, the service was spotty - friendly, but not very attentive. We had to flag someone down to get drink refills. One of our group was served her salad long before our entrees arrived. The rest of the group were given their salads at the same time as their meals. One person never got the salad she ordered.
We finished our meal with the polenta cake, which was very tasty.
Finally, I noticed that, despite the restaurant touting itself as being "family friendly", there is no baby change table in the women's washroom.
