Fish was great, also cheesy garlic bread!

Eating here for dinner was absolutely wonderful! Ellen was so sweet and walked us to our table. Nikki was also so lovely and made our dining experience spectacular! Both of us got a pasta dish, that we took more than half to-go. The servings are very generous and yummy! We are definitely going back to try some homemade Calzones 😋

My husband and I tried to enjoy a meal there, but had a horrible experience and weren't able to eat. We waited 40 minutes for a seat. Understandable. The hospitality industry has taken a huge hit. Restaurants are short staffed. If a restaurant has a wait time that's usually a reliable indication that the food is good. We are polite, reasonable people. After watching customers who arrived after us get seated first we were a little frustrated but ok, mistakes happen. Sat down. Waited a few minutes and the server took our food and drink order. I ordered an iced tea, and my husband ordered a beer. My iced tea arrived in a reasonable time. After about 35 minutes of more waiting, no salad, no food, no bread, and not even the beer my husband ordered. One iced tea and a glass of water - that's all the restaurant staff managed to attend to in 1 hour and fifteen minutes. No server came back to us or offered reassurance that our meals or even my husband's beer were coming; instead we were just completely ignored, and by then very hungry. After watching our server take beers and drinks out to the patio, again for folks who came in after us, we decided to leave. We understand busy-we are willing to wait for a good meal- but the staff need to be more attentive during wait times and just not ignore the customers-or at least tell them up front it will be at least 35 minutes to get a beer to them, and some indication of how long a meal is going to take. And maybe give them a basket a bread or something!

I used to love this place. We went today for mother's day. The wait was extremely long and I saw them wait over an hour to seat people at tables that had no one seated previously. I ordered Chicken Marsala. It was disgusting. Very bland, very tough, breaded chicken that was mushy on the outside. The sauce was thin and watery, the mushrooms tasteless and the risotto was just as bad. I enjoyed the salad, but that's all I can say about lunch. I give 2 stars because the waitress was great.
