"For appetizers, we ordered the creamy corn soup and a melon salad topped with crispy prosciutto. While the soup was decent, it lacked complexity, tasting mainly of broth and corn without much else to offer. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the melon salad, which included fresh arugula, red peppers, balsamic dressing, and crispy prosciutto—the flavors came together nicely.
For our entrées, we chose a rib eye and eggplant parmesan. The steak was cooked well and enjoyable; however, the roasted potatoes were overdone, though still edible. The biggest issue arose with the eggplant parmesan. It consisted of three pieces of eggplant, each cut about 1 ½ inches thick, breaded, and deep-fried. There was no sauce, just some melted mozzarella on top. After one bite, I found it nearly inedible. It was greasy, the eggplant was inadequately cooked, and it was so tough that I could barely chew it. I typically don’t send food back, but this dish compelled me to do so. A nearby patron also faced a similar issue with the pork Milanese.
It’s such a pity that what could have been an enjoyable meal was overshadowed by poor preparation. Our server was lovely—attentive and professional—and I felt bad for her amidst the situation."
