He said his last day is Sunday, which is a quick turnover. I got the chicken Marsala. The chicken had pregrilled marks on it and tasted like something from the premade freezer section. Not a $16 meal at all. My fianc\u00E9 had the meatloaf. I tasted it and it was mushy and all I could taste was the breaded mix... did not taste like meat, which is unfortunate for a $17 meatloaf. The calamari was... not what I was expecting. Thick strips of chewy breaded meat. No rings, no tentacles, no flavor. The only good things were the drinks and the veggies as they were steamed, good color, and not over cooked. I had been there once before a couple years ago and had a steak which was really good. I voiced this to the waiter, in good spirits because it was state night and my fianc\u00E9 and I can always find a good time together. He offered to give us free desert, but I am not one who really likes desert after dinner. Nothing else was offered to make it right. I expected from a pricey establishment for the manager to come talk to us about our experience, but that never happened. Our bill for 2 was $76, so it was disappointing. It's a big shame because we live in Birkdale so this is one of rev walking distance restaurants. I don't think we will be back anytime soon. There are other really excellent places in the area."^^ .
