    Service and the kitchen tonight really dropped the ball. We dined as a table of 3 and we may as well have been invisible. Our garlic bread appetizer and two Caesar salads were forgotten. Our server only seemed to grasp the issue when my husband said something. What really irritated us was the fact that our server did absolutely nothing to remedy this miss at all. We weren’t even offered a free glass of wine or a dessert for the three of us to share. It is a shame we had such a bad experience because our entrees were quite good and came out hot. We would not dine here again for dinner and especially on a Saturday night. In this tight economy, doing the bare minimum of making sure the order comes out should be a given.

    I hate no being able to give 5stars but the baked clams were not to par… less than a “lil spoon” worth of clam and all unflavored breading. My husband did love his eggplant rollitoni, the roasted peppers were also not that great this time. My espresso martini was very bitter even though I ordered it with extra cream. But I do LOVE the ambiance and the staff that is superb….

    Restaurant was great. Had to wait a while for a hostess to seat us. The steak was a bit over cooked and dry. The pasta was great and the servers were very friendly.
