    Overall, the food and service from our waitress was good. My only complaint is that we had a 6:15 reservation and weren’t seated until 6:45. I understand things happen, but we should have been offered a free drink or something for the wait. UPDATE: The restaurant manager contacted me after my experience, apologized for what happened and sent a gift card as a concession. I really appreciate them making this right and I’ll definitely dine here again.

    A great place to bring the grandchildren. They have choices and the food choices range from light to filling and pricey. Good portions. Service last night could have used more smiles but efficient.

    Food very good, atmosphere very good. Service very slow, never checked to see if we needed anything or if dinners were good. Server was polite but not attentive at all.

    Awful experience. Waited over 1/2 hour to receive our drink and that was after we reminded our waiter. Food arrived after about 45 minutes after ordering and our waiter never returned for new drink order. When food arrived, fettuccine my husband ordered was watery, flavorless and my chicken parm had zero flavor too and was ice cold. Sent it back to receive hot flavorless chicken. Really unfortunate since this restaurant has nice ambience but is expensive for horrible food and service. Go to McDonalds instead!
