In town for a work conference so decided to try it out based on the good reviews. The decor was odd. Very dark inside with hardly any decor. Tables had nothing but a black tablecloth on them. It took a bit for us to be greeted by a waiter. I ordered Chicken Alfredo and asked if they could add some broccoli. I assumed there would be an extra charge and I was fine with that. The serving size was rather small for the price. The waiter asked if we wanted cheese on our meal and proceeded to hold it up so high over our plates that he not only provided our meals with cheese, but the table as well. Our table looked like the kids table by the time he was done. I then noticed my meal didn't even have chicken. The waiter takes my plate, brings it back and here we go again with another cheese fiasco to the new plate! 🤣 The Alfredo sauce was like soup. No thickness or consistency to it at all. Each bite splashed new drops to my black shirt and by the time I was done, I myself looked like one of the kids at the kids table! 🙄 We get the check and....$6 for a side of broccoli!! I went and addressed it with the girl at the front. Her response, "well the price is in the menu"....I go sit down, our waiter comes to the table and I address with him. His response.."well the price is in the menu". Then he sends the manager over...his response..."well the price is in the menu". Good lord! Obviously they have received this compliant before because everybody went on auto pilot as if they were reading from a script! My apologies for not verifying the price of a side of broccoli before ordering but my goodness, I along with 90% of most people wouldn't guess it would be the cost of a small appetizer!...🤦‍♀️

I was staying in town for work so I found this place next to my hotel. I haven’t had a wonderful meal like this in years- usually somethings amiss when I eat out, but not this time. The entree, Pinot, soup, music (Sinatra), lighting…it was all to my liking. The space was simple, open but clean. Mikey, my server, provided the right amount of attention and was lighthearted enough to make my evening better. The tomato basil soup was so rich and creamy that my taste buds couldn’t believe what I was consuming. I can’t wait to come back.

Nice environment, not loud so you can have a conversation. Friendly efficient wait staff. Marinara sauce and meatballs was good, pork chop was disappointing. We will be back to try other meals.
