    The food was just so so. Could have been better. No one in the party finished their meal. My meal wasn’t touched and the server didn’t ask about it.

    This Italian restaurant is pleasant and attractive inside, with lots of seating. The service was friendly, but a little spotty. I ordered the Mediterranean pasta dish, which was good, but which lacked the tomatoes promised on the menu. I pointed this out to the waiter, and he simply shrugged. I probably should have rejected the dish. My wife ordered the salmon, and asked that it be prepared medium. It was cooked too long and was a bit dry. Prices were not bad, but the food was just ok.

    I made a reservation for Valentine's for my husband and I. When we arrived, I informed the hostess we had a reservation, she walked us to one of those long half booth half table. There were other people already seated, and we were placed in the middle of two other parties. Needless to say, this was a "romantic date." I asked the girl if she had a different table to which she replied with " We have a seating chart." We noticed a couple of other tables open, by the end of our night, they were still open. The experience with our waiter was different. His name was Ellis or Elijha. He gave us a different table and his service was great, kudos to him!! The food was fair. I would not go back unless necessary.
