FOOD
Appetizer : The Gazpacho soup was great. Very refreshing. Out of the 3 appetizers, I wish I got that. I had the Caesar salad, double smoked bacon, garlic croutons which was…like any casear salad. The double smoked bacon was crazy salty…but if you have it with the salad, it’s alright.
Entrée : The Penne was cooked perfectly and very tasty. A great entrée.
Dessert : The Biscotti was alright. Like a standard cookie/biscotti. It left me a bit thirsty. I had the Lemon Smifreddo which was definitely the better dessert. It was very refreshing, a great palette cleanser.
Overall, I was very pleased with my food. I wish I got the Gazpacho over the Caesar salad. The Penne and Lemon Smifreddo were the correct choices though. I would definitely go back based on taste alone…however…

SERVICE
Terrible, terrible service.
1. They took our wine glasses away without asking if we wanted anything to drink. They gave us water but they didn’t even ask if we wanted Coke or anything.
2. They gave us hummus for our bread…but…bread went out to tables that sat after us, we had to ask for the bread which was sitting on the counter for over 5 minutes.
3. We had to ask for water refills, our water wasn’t refilled despite being empty for a long time.
4. Our desserts, much like our bread, were sitting on the counter as well for over 5 minutes.
5. Lots of waiting. Lots.
6. When the entrées were served, one of them didn’t come out with the other 6. The waiter says to everyone “this last dish will take another minute, please start”. The waiter says that to the table…shouldn’t it be the person who didn’t get their food? Weak.

OVERALL
…I would not return. There are a million places with good food and good service. It’s ridiculous to fall so short one on.
