| - I'm really surprised at the rave reviews on here! I hope the restaurant reads this and takes what I have to say into consideration. There's a few things that they could change so my family and I would come back. I'm going to break it down so you can read about which part matters most to you.
1. The Atmosphere: The restaurant has a pretty cool atmosphere. It's modern and has some nice decor that fits the theme and name of restaurant well. There is low lighting, which I like, but it made it more than obvious every time the front door opened. Think about how annoying it is when you're at the movies in the middle of the day and someone uses a side exit. You can't help but notice. There are surrounding restaurants with even nicer decor and lower or comparable prices.
2. The Service: Our waitress was great. We were greeted right when we walked in and given the option of a table or booth. We chose the booth. The backs are straight up, which forces you to have good posture. Our waitress was very attentive, but at first I felt a little rushed to make a choice of which food I would order. I don't think she meant for it to come off that way though. Once she asked if it was our first time here she pulled up a chair and gave us a quick run down on her favorites. Our table was only set for two so we had to ask for additional silverware for the other two people. Not the waitresses fault, but something the hostess should have caught when seating us. The owner came around to our table and asked us if everything was good. We all nodded and smiled. I felt the urge to tell him how I really felt, but you can never tell if people will take criticism well. So, I just figured I was going to Yelp about it and they can read it there and decided what they want to do.
3. The Food and Options: OK, here's where we go down hill really fast. First thing I must say is nothing was terrible. Otherwise, I would've only given one star. When we got to our table there was a bottle of red wine that they had on special for the day. $15 for a whole bottle of wine. We were not able to taste it because they had no bottles of it open yet. Well, if you tell that to everyone who wants to taste it, then you will never have a bottle open. I understand cutting costs where possible, but with the prices this restaurant charges, they should offer a taste if they want us to consider paying $15.00 for what is probably a $7 bottle of wine. I started looking around for a drink menu and to my surprise there was not one. It wasn't just missing from our table either. I asked the waitress for a drink menu and her response what that "We don't have one, but we have a full bar and can make pretty much whatever you want." So, I said (not in a rude tone, by the way), " So, I have to think up a drink or use Google to figure out what I want?" . I think I caught her off guard with my response and I can't remember if she responded because I was a little annoyed and just took out my phone to start googling drinks. In the meantime, my Mom had asked quite a few questions about the food on the menu. Their meat is all pre-mixed and it's 3 different meats mixed together. It sounded gross to me. The waitress left and came back again to see if we were ready to order. I was still googling away trying to find a drink . This time she asked me what kind of drink I usually like. I told her I normally like a cranberry juice with vodka and lime, but I was hoping to try something different. She suggested their Sangria that is "made in house and unlike any other sangria". That intrigued me so I ordered it. We then ordered food and I got some kind of Gnocchi Pasta in a white sauce. My Mom got a pasta with the word Funghi in it. My sister ordered Ravioli. A house salad was included with each meal. I asked if they have ranch dressing and to my surprise, not they do not. I was given the option to upgrade to a Caesar salad for an additional $2.00. Their house salad comes with a white wine vinaigrette dressing and seems to be a mesclun salad. I was delighted to find that I did like the dressing, but the salad was seriously lacking vegetables. My meal was pretty good. The sauce was good. The fact that it was $15 and there was no meat in it is what baffles me. My sister was pretty disappointed with the amount of raviolis that she got. Normally she can share a meal with her daughter and they're both full, but they finished their plate and they were both hungry. I ended up sharing my Gnocchi with them. Apparently my family loves bread because we went through 4 different rounds of bread. It had a balsamic vinaigrette dipping sauce which I liked and the bread was pretty good. I had two and a half slices of the bread which is equivalent to about one and half Olive Garden Breadsticks , so you can compare size. The sangria that I had previously ordered was decent. There was nothing about it that seemed to make it special. Tiramisu was pretty good. I'm out of room to write. It's cutting me off. LOL
