"First time at this location. Large family birthday gathering of 8 adults and 1 child. Valet was very impatient with a two minute wait to lace my boots and gather wallet. Wandered around for nearly 5min trying to find family who was at the bar, which was empty. Repeated attempts to get the attention of the numerous staff (at least 9 were visible busily running about). We eventually determined that there is an additional bar upstairs. Wandered around some more trying to find it. While 5 of us ordered drinks from the bar and waited for the others, even after they arrived it was awhile until we were seated. The place was at about 70% capacity, yet we were seated in the very front at the only table in direct sunlight. When asked if there was an umbrella, we were told it was broken. For 80min we ate in direct sunlight, sweating on our meals. Two of our entrees were partially wrong and drinks were handed to the wrong customers. Ice in the drinks melted immediately making them a watery mess. After not seeing our waiter for 20-30min and in need of additional napkins, we asked the busboy who muttered something under his breath and walked away, never to return. When it came time to bring out the birthday cake, we asked again if there was any other place we could sit. We were moved to a room that was empty during the entirety of our visit. We waited another 10min and a cake was brought out, the wrong cake. Like, completely different size/shape/frosting colour. Somehow it took another 10min to locate the cake we brought. After all that, the valet took nearly 15min to retrieve our car (he was alone). Unbelievable. Nicely decorated location."

"We were in the area for a sports event, and had trouble finding places to eat. We finally settled on Marsilio 's Kitchen. We arrived about 7:15 for a 7:30 reservation and were greeted by a friendly host who seated us promptly in their tented patio area. It was fairly busy, but not overly crowded. We waited several minutes to be greeted by our server, who was a super nice man, but seemed to have more tables than he could handle efficiently. We waited for water...which finally came about 10 minutes after being seated....then finally drinks, appetizer and entree orders taken. Calamari was delicious, but no tentacles...just rings . At one point, one of the bus staff dropped a plate on the walkway a few feet from us. It took a good 10 15 minutes of staff (stepping over/around) the plate for someone to eventually clean it up. Several people just walked past it, a few more stepped over it, but no one made an effort to pick it up for a notable amount of time...Anyway, about 8:30 (yes, over an hour after our arrival) our entrees arrived with apologies for the delay, and an I 'm not sure what 's going on, they 're usually on top of things in the kitchen . Again the server was very nice, and apologetic and seemed equally frustrated by whatever was going on that evening. I had their signature dish chicken cacciatore....it was...okay. Held a chicken in a wine sauce. The breast was dry, but the rest of it was good, and the sauce was fine, just not the typical red/brown sauce I 'm familiar with. Another in our group had the vodka rigatoni , which, those who tasted it (not me) said was very good. By the time we were done eating and the plates cleared, we decided to get dessert, to go. Cannoli, Tiramisu all were delicious. The server wished us safe travels, which was nice. So, maybe just an off night for them...they 've been there for a while, so they must be doing something right, but maybe just not the night we were there."
