We were seated quickly (had a reservation), had no menus for 10 minutes then took a long time for our drinks to arrive, only 2 of our 3 kids got drinks the first time, the food came out one at a time instead at the same time and they forgot 2 of our kids meals and when it did come out they only brought one meal for my twins instead of two. The bruschetta was large chunks of tomatoes with nearly no basil, or balsamic marinade. And it was near impossible to get a drink refill for anyone.

Love this place. But tonight there was horrible service. Seemed like a bunch of people didn’t show for work, quit or laid off. The AGM said he was the server, hostess, and cook all at the same time. Had reservations at 6:30 and didn’t get sat for 15 minutes. We had zero confidence that the service would be any better so left.

We had a limited menu for the 2 of us since they offered Thanksgiving dinners only (on Thanksgiving) However, we were able to order a good chopped salad and chicken limone appetizers which were very good and more than adequate proportions and delicious desserts.

We had a baby, no one offered highchair. The waitress kept putting items down in front of baby. Service was ok otherwise. Food was ok but not worth the money.
