"By that time, the baby was hungry, and unfortunately, there were no children’s options or smaller portion sizes on the menu. My son-in-law had to run across the street to buy yogurt for the baby while we waited for service. There was no water, no bread, no menus—nothing. We had to get the manager's attention to finally receive some service. The single bottle of water we received was never refilled, the bread basket was sparse and also went unrefilled, and we were given just six olives with our dipping oil.
As for the food, it was rather unimpressive. The mushroom risotto looked dull, the rigatoni was nothing special, and my son-in-law's dish—something flat, brown, and breaded—didn't look appealing either. My fettuccine with mussels was a real letdown. The menu claimed it featured "jumbo lump crab meat," but there wasn't a single piece in my dish. Many mussel shells were empty, and those that were there were tiny and overcooked. The dish consisted mostly of plain noodles, some cherry tomatoes, and large chunks of garlic. On top of that, the portion was small. I brought the missing crabmeat to the waiter's attention, but he condescendingly insisted it was "mixed in." I pointed out that if it were truly included, it should be easily visible, not hidden away in the pasta. By the time he returned, we were almost done eating, and I declined his offer for a replacement.
After our meal, it felt like we were being rushed to clear our table, and no one even asked us about dessert. We definitely won't be returning and wish we had chosen one of the many other nice restaurants we passed on the way. Additionally, be careful about pricing; the costs at the restaurant do not match what’s listed on the website. My $17 entree was charged at $21 on the receipt, and we only realized this after returning home."
