That should be reevaluated…
We ordered the sampler appetizer—straight out of a Sysco frozen bag, but hey, technically edible. I went for the “back by popular demand” lobster ravioli (which apparently means one guy asked for it in 2012) and my husband ordered some penne sausage bake situation. My husband never pushes away food, but one bite in he looked at me like he’d licked a salt block and said, “I can’t eat this.” My ravioli? Imagine rancid canned lobster. Didn’t even know that was a thing until last night.
Three bites total between us, and my husband calls the waitress over: “Can we have the check? This is disgusting, and I want to leave.” She looked shocked, walked away, and came back with our $82 bill—leaving our full plates right there like a passive-aggressive art installation. The manager was about 12 feet away scrolling TikTok and didn’t even look up.
I handed over my credit card and said, “Wow, over $80 for inedible food.” Silence. When the waitress returned, she said she’d given a discount—so $60 for food we didn’t eat. And of course, I still tipped $20, because she’s not the chef.
Very disappointed. Won’t be back. It gave Carnival Cruise main dining room vibes—minus the ocean view and unlimited ice cream machine. Boo.
I gave it a second shot Tuesday just before 7:pm. Unfortunately, they were unable to seat my party of two because “the kitchen is getting slammed”. Through the windows, I could see that the restaurant was about 60 to 70 percent full. Disappointed, we went to Amedeo’s.
So far, this isn’t working out.
—-original review—-
I think I’m going to have to try this place again after they’ve been open for a few months. Let me cut to the chase: The lunch portion of the lasagna is fantastic. There’s plenty of Italian sausage, great cheeses, and cooked nicely. The complimentary garlic bread is also delicious. It’s barely toasted with a light crunch, followed by a fresh bread inside. It’s seasoned well. The fried mushrooms were good, not great. They’re using the sharky’s fish and chips batter. The mushrooms were the right size and piping hot. But I prefer Three B’s batter. Try it yourself and see what you think. Tomato basil soup is good. But not great. I don’t think I’ll order it again. And the margarita pizza could be DiGiorno’s. To be fair, it’s hard to impress me with pizza.
I don’t know if they had a decorator for the remodeling. If they did, they should get their money back.
The bathrooms are a little confusing. One is unisex, one is women. So if one woman chooses the unisex bathroom, she could prevent a man from using any bathroom. This happened to me.
I was promptly greated with a “be right with you” when I walked in. But there was an awkward amount of time before they actually returned to seat me and my party of three. I was seconds away from walking out and going next door for sushi instead.
Like I said, I’ll try again and update in a few months.
