Reviews
We were the first table (if not the second) in the restaurant on a sunday, Excited to try this place the entrance and dinning room areas are very nice however it reeks of old cigarette smell. Maybe due to the coat racks being right in the front but the smell carried even after seating. also christmas music and decorations are still up? maybe they really like christmas. it looked very cute but also looked like they had been forgotten about.
After seating we where givin half of a cold loaf of bread, when i say cold i mean it came right out of the fridge it wasent even room temperature. The menu itself is designed very well with plenty of options. However the food is below sub par. Again we were the first customers of the day and waited closer to 45 minutes for our food by the way. I had ordered the bruschetta and Lobster ravioli the bruschetta was just tomato’s completely drowning in balsamic glaze on top of the same bread served earlier, this time toasted. The glaze is so over powering and it leaves the bread soggy. As for my entrée the ravioli was swimming in what i assume to be there vodka sauce the sauce it self smelled good but it was runny and left a lot to be desired, the filling of the Lobster Ravioli was completely mush and tasted utterly gamy and inconsistent, oddly the noodles of my ravioli where also inconsistent as some where cooked perfectly, other hard and chewy and some completely soft and mush.
My Boyfriend ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli, he immediately wanted me to taste the chicken, it was dry flavorless and tuff. Boiling it would have made it taste better, the sauce tasted as if it was canned or jarred and the fettuccine was labeled as made in house, if it is actually made in house it was a very old batch. His take away from his meal was that the broccoli was the best thing on the plate.
Our server was shy and quiet but he did what i’m sure he’s been told to do. He told us the specials, and never left our cups empty so we thank you. We didn’t catch his name unfortunately.
As a server myself i can understand it’s hard to do your job when the menu is crap and the first impression you give people is cold bread, i can’t imagine the owner cares how that initial impression affects his servers tip at each table. Overall this place looks nice on the outside but when you peel back the layers is gross and disappointing, we will not be returning.
The food is very good with ample portions at reasonable prices. Family run and it definitely gives that vibe. Definitely worth a try. After 1 visit I wanted to return and bring my parents.
My friend ordered a pasta dish w linguini, shrimp and spinach in a garlic wine sauce, and I the Lobster Ravioli. I got 7 raviolis in a very tasty tomato cream sauce. My friends linquini was overcooked and mushy, and without very many small shrimp. I would’ve been more pleased with a few more raviolis, Maybe make the dish an even 12 pieces, instead of 7. It may sound petty, but little things make all the difference in my opinion.
We ordered the carrot cake for dessert on the recommendation of our waiter. It was a huge piece, suitabe for up to 4 people, however it was dry and overcooked.
Our waiter was excellent, incorporating alot of knowledge about the food selection and bit of humor into our dining experience which made it pleasant.
When all is said and done, it will be a while before I return.
