    The chicken was terrible. About as dry as you can get. For how expensive this is, i definitely expected better quality!

    Actually this restaurant was disappointing. Calamari was tough, maybe it hung out under a heat lamp? Which would be shameful. Veal was thick, it needed to be pounded thin. Boring sauce. Simple recipes that need attention. Our entrees took a long time after the appetizer. The staff was nice and water refills plenty. This could easily be a nicer restaurant with some quality control produce a a better meal.

    Our first basket of bread was stale. The second was great. The waiter said we may have slow service as they we’re shortstaffed, but we had great service. The food was absolutely excellent. I’d go back in a second.
