"The food was spot on, but the review is primarily dropped down due to bad service. We went here around 7.45 PM on Sunday for our anniversary dinner. We reached and were looking around for a minute or two. Nobody was there as a host to get us a table. Finally somebody came around and got us seated. We sat down on a table, but they were having oysters at next table, so it had a smell. Being vegetarians, we are not used to it. So we asked if we could switch somewhere else. Our server, a 40-45 yr old gentleman, just started moving stuff and giving us rude looks. I mean we just asked to move. When seated, they brought us out the complimentary garlic knots. We were excited to try them seeing the reviews here. They were raw/undercooked. When he came around, we asked if he could replace them with a more cooked batch. He said what else do you want. Everybody eat it, nobody complains. I said we would like to try this, just something that is a little more cooked and not doughy like this. Begrudgingly, he took it back and brought a fresh batch. His wine suggestions were spot on. We really enjoyed that. Bruschetta was fresh and amazing. Must try. I tried penne pasta linguine, which was just okay. My wife tried cheese raviole with rose sauce, which was delicious. Highly recommend the latter, former can be ignored. All this while not one server has come to check on anything or refill water. Our original server was MIA, and somebody else took our entrees order. They were moving about in the dining area, so not sure why they wouldn’t check on if we need more wine or water. We finished our dinner and waited 5-10 mins for them to come so we could place our dessert order. Eventually we just took it to-go. Tiramisu was amazing as well.. I got no network in the restaurant, so could not self pay. But had to wait and wave again for them to take my card. The food was great and we enjoyed the wine too, but we had really high hopes based on the reviews we had read. I wish the service was better, it was totally atrocious and put a dampener on the whole experience."
