    When shown to a 2 person table only 1 seat and 1 place setting. Was told " someone must have stolen the chair". Offered no water even though water glasses are on the table. Main course my wife ordered a well done steak. When it came it was still pink so we sent it back. My main course was a chicken ham pepperoni pizza. ( can't remember what the restaurant called it). Pizza tasted funny particularly the pepperoni. Couldn't eat it . No we didn't complain. Wife also tried a slice and she also found it a strange taste. Have been to this resturant many times but feel their standards are slipping
