"There were 5 of us there on Fri. 1/3 and the food was not as good as the last time we were there in 2024. The brussels spouts and cheesy garlic bread were still good, but our entrees of lobster ravioli (minimal lobster) and chicken parm were just okay, and our guests ordered pizza which finally came after we had eaten almost half of our meal and they indicted the pizza was mediocre. I ordered a Manhattan that was served straight up and charged as a Old Fashioned. Then the bill comes and the suggested tip is after tax and there is also a 3% surcharge as a way to offset rising costs . In the low light and with the waiter standing there while we make our tip decision, we did not notice the note at the bottom of the receipt, you may request to have this taken off your check should you choose. If your costs are rising, include that in the cost of the entree, where the consumer can decide before ordering if they think its a fair price. Don 't tack on a charge that the consumer doesn 't know they paid until they get home. All in all, we didn 't think the meal or the service was worth the price."
