"We had a big family dinner here on Saturday night following my uncle's funeral.\n\nWhen she made the reservations, my aunt had specifically requested two round tables(though I'm not sure why) with no centerpieces, but when we arrived, they have one long rectangular table with tall floral centerpieces. I think they thought they were making it look nice, but she was displeased. Once she mentioned it to someone, they were quick to swap out the tables and 86 the centerpieces.\n\nI did think that throughout the meal, service was great- we had the two tables with 15 people total and we didn't have to wait too long for refills or anything.\n\nThe food, however, was extremely subpar to me. Before dinner, my husband, his parents and I came a little early to have a drink. While we were at the bar, I noticed the restaurant's Specials menu posted outside and an appetizer salad caught my eye. Tomatoes, artichoke hearts, feta, Kalamata olives...it sounded divine! When it showed up, though, it somehow managed to be very tasteless and bland. Everything seemed to have been previously canned or packaged- it just didn't taste fresh. For my entree, I chose the Surf and Turf Pasta minus the surf and the turf. I'm a vegetarian and the only two meatless options the server offered were two pastas that could be ordered without the meat. This one came with black pepper linguine in a pesto cream sauce with spinach and red peppers. It was not nearly as good as it sounded. And when the pasta was placed in front of me, it appeared to have a \"skin\" on the sauce, as though it had been sitting under a heat lamp for an extended period. \n\nFather-in-law said his steak was quite overcooked (thinking that may have been the culprit of the heat lamp). My mother-in-law said the best thing on her plate was the baked potato. My husband said his meal was \"fine\", which is my least favorite description of restaurant food. You eat out for food that is better than you could cook at home.\n\nI would not come back here again."^^ . "0"^^ . "2"^^ . "2013-08-07T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . . .
