    Terrible experience. We were shoved at a table that was right by a table for bus person stuff. Kept bumping into us. Loading up dirty dishes as we were trying to eat. Service started out very rough. She had a banquet that she was waiting on. Very slow. Food was cold. The cost of the meal for 5 person was not worth the experience. This was supposed to be elegant family dinner and it was a terrible ordeal. Very sad.

    My wife’s rigatoni was beyond Al Dante and my steak which was ordered medium was rare. The steak had to go back and took about thirty minutes to get back. By that time we took it to go. The waiter had tables in another room and it felt like we were an afterthought. I had better steak and service at outback and Texas Roadhouse. For what you pay at this place I expect a lot better! We will never go back.

    Reservations were made, upon arrival we were told everything was on time and will be seated soon, after waiting and periodically checking for an hour my wife went up for the third time to check where we were and finally were seated after she had to talk to a manager. It took an extended period of time to get our drinks and after another extended period we finally were able to order but the waitress was unprepared and had no idea what the specials were. Our meals arrived except for my daughter's which was for whatever reason not placed which the waitress blamed on the kitchen. Finally, the meal came out and the waitress offered to give one free drink to compensate for the error. Which she failed to bring out but chose to take it off the bill since she did not follow up otherwise. I went there for my 65th birthday and it had been a while since we had been at the restaurant and usually always had a good experience, this was awful and quite honestly do not ever plan to return.

    Salvatore's does alot to make your experience great. This visit, although the server was very good, the service was slow. Probably too many Xmas parties slowing the regular diners meals. The room was cold & noisy and the cheesecake was disappointing.
