Wow. What a difference a second visit provided. So disappointed.
We were seated in at a table that just shouldn't even be there. I felt severely cramped. I couldn't sit any further from the table than I was because of the close proximity of the chair behind me and my husband's seat was literally sticking out into the hallway. I thought about just giving up at that moment and going elsewhere but it was his birthday dinner someplace supposedly special based on our last visit so he moved the table and his chair back a bit and we decided to stick it out for some great food.
Ummm... not really.
The menu options looked great. I ordered the butternut squash gnocchi with brussel sprouts (ok, I absolutely love brussel sprouts so any dish with them was going to be my first choice) and he ordered hot sausage rigatoni. They both came with salads and we were provided hot bread. Sounds like a winner.
Ummm.. not really.
When served, first off, you'd think that an Italian place (upscale Italian) would offer fresh cheese grated on top. Not so.... Ok, but I bet it's gonna be scrumptious, way above the chain restaurant that pleases us every time. Not so...
I like butternut squash. Makes a good side dish and I've had it in ravioli and loved it. Not this time. The dish was ugly to the eye. It was all brown, gravy brown. Ok, but it'll be great (you get the drift -- always hoping). The butternut squash's sweetness was overpowering. They must have added ingredients on the sweet side because it was wayyyy overpowering. I would never had known there were brussel sprouts buried in the brown gravy-like substance except it was on the menu and I was looking forward to it. Well, no taste or texture of it to be found.
The main issue I have that reduced this review to 2 stars was my entire meal. How can you have every single part of my meal be sweet? From the butter on the bread (good, but sweet something added), to my salad with a sweet vinaigrette, to my whole main hugely portioned plate of sickly sweet entrée, to the free dessert of lemon cello shot with a side cookie. Seriously? Had the chef gone mad? Don't get me wrong. I have a sweet tooth, just not in every single bite/drink I took. That is what gets you the 2 stars.
And the rigatoni? Not bad, just not spectacular.
Meh....This venue that missed and is more expensive and cramped or my chain restaurant that gets it right every time?
