Fast forward to the end of our meal and I ask the server to bring me a to-go box for the rest of my meal. I had ordered one of their specials that includes an entire lobster in its shell. I did not feel comfortable eating the lobster in the restaurant because of how messy it would be, so I figured I would just eat the rest at home. So the server offers to have my food boxed for me, I barely touched the lobster on my plate and I figured they would have seen that. The server hands my plate off to her assistant and she comes back with a tiny box with a few noodles and no lobster. Ummm… they threw my lobster away. It was an accident sure, but the manager tries to rectify it by only giving me part of my lobster. This meal alone was nearly $70 and you’re telling me I just spent that just to not be able to enjoy the main part because of a mistake made by your employee? I told our server that we will not be returning. With as much as your restaurant charges, there’s no reason you guys couldn’t have either comped the meal or made a new one for me. Ridiculously greedy.
Below is a picture of what I had ordered before eating it and notice the whole lobster on the plate. The manager only gave me a replacement for the claws.
In comparison, I have recently had petite filets at Outback Steakhouse that were noticeably more tender, flavorful, and juicy, and they cost about $29. I am willing to pay more for a nicer restaurant, but it is important to receive the level of quality that matches the price.
Their menu is loaded with many interesting and plenty unique Italian dishes. Not only steak, as their name indicates, but also pastas and other Italian specialties. Their soup on the day I visited was pasta fagioli, so I got a bowl and it was really good… loaded with all the typical items and tasty. Their table bread was a small order of their focaccia, which resembled more of a naan thickness, look, texture, and taste… But I’m not complaining, it was really good and tasted great when dipped in the accompanying tomatoes and EVOO.
My entrée consisted of their Chicken Farcito. When I asked the bartender what he thought of it, he said it was amazing and he wasn’t lying! The flavors of the filling and the sauce worked very well with the chicken. The potato served with it was incredible and the asparagus was awesome. It all came together so nicely – definitely something to try! Since I was tossing between getting this and getting their Pappardelle Meatballs I ordered the Pappardelle Meatballs to go to enjoy as lunch the next day. That was also very nice! The meatballs were flavorful and the texture was perfect. I still find it a tough decision to have to decide between the two.
Save room for dessert, their Zabaglione was excellent! He suggested trying it with port, which I did and he was right – that’s the way to go!
Overall, excellent visit… I’ll definitely return!
There is definitely a dress code here I wouldn’t wear jeans, and no hats. It has more of a classic, elegant vibe, which makes it perfect for a nice dinner or special occasion.
Great food, great drinks, and a polished atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something a little more refined in Virginia Beach.
