We stopped in around 1:30 and the first thing we noticed was the table was still dirty; I was willing to overlook this, as our waiter was pretty decent. \n\nOur drinks came out without err and we had a great time on the second level just talking and laughing. I ordered a dirty martini and our waiter brought me extra drink, which was mixed, but wouldn't fit in my glass at the time, which was awesome. \n\nWe placed our orders and since it was now approaching 2pm, we were still on the lunch menu. The food took forever to come out- when I finally looked at the time, I realized it was now close to 3pm. \n\nUpon arrival, I noticed my fettuccine was about 2 bites of pasta; I wanted so much more. It tasted homemade and I wondered if it was. I noticed the garlic in my dish was minced and from a jar. The 25% Italian in me was really disappointed and hoping for fresh-cut. To me, this just ruined the dish. You take fresh pasta that tastes almost like it's homemade and then you throw some jarred garlic on it- blech!\n\nThe rest of the family got dishes of similar size and I was displeased to see the amount of shrimp on a plate for an adult (maybe 6?). It looked like a child's portion. However, I will note the calamari appetizer was to die for and extremely abundant. It came with a sort of ginger sauce that had a sweet tang and had me coming back for more. \n\nBe aware, the parking lot that you would think is for Tillie's, isn't for the restaurant, and I was told by a local that you will be towed for parking there. It wasn't hard to find street parking on a Saturday afternoon, though. \n\nIf I'm in the area, I might stop again to experience dinner, but wouldn't go out of my way to come back."^^ .
