"First, let me say the view and the decor are both lovely. It 's great to sit outside in the summer and look out at the water. The food, for me, ranges from mediocre to good depending on what you order. I 've never had a bad meal here, but really never been wowed either. I do think the quality of the olive oil they serve on the tables for bread dipping is subpar though. The service was neither poor nor terrific for me in the past, BUT last time I was there I was really disappointed. We were greeted by a rather unenthusiastic hostess, who seated us at a table directly in the hot sun on a sweltering summer day. There were only 2 other parties eating outside, so there were plenty of tables for her to choose from. Before we had a chance to get settled and realize it would be horribly uncomfortable, she was gone. We found no staff to ask so, after waiting about 5 minutes, we moved ourselves one table over. When the hostess came back to seat another party we explained the situation and, instead of being apologetic or gracious, she gave us a dirty look and muttered something about the place settings as if we 'd done something horribly egregious!! Meanwhile, the waitress had come over and, without introducing herself (found out from the bill her name is Pamella S. , just asked if we wanted plain or bubbly water. We thought that it was a nice option so we ordered bubbly water. She never told us we would be charged for a whole bottle of Pellegrino at the end! She made it sound like it was complimentary, like the regular water. Even beyond that, we found this server to be quite aloof and it honestly made us feel as though we may not come back."
