"Once we were seated, we waited about 20 minutes for the waitress—who turned out to be the hostess—to come over and take our drink orders. We then discovered that they were only offering a special Valentine's Day menu, so we selected our meals and placed our orders. After that, we waited an additional 30-45 minutes for our salads to arrive. The salads were mediocre and didn't taste like they had any Caesar dressing, but we were so hungry that we ate most of it anyway. Next, we waited another 30-45 minutes for our appetizers to come out. We had ordered sausage and peppers as well as risotto balls. The risotto balls eventually arrived, but they mistakenly also brought us cheesesteak egg rolls. We informed the staff about the mix-up and requested our sausage and peppers. After another lengthy wait of 30 minutes, our entrées finally arrived. During this wait, one staff member mentioned that our waitress had left and that there was only one person in the kitchen. It turned out the owner hadn’t adequately prepared for the evening. When our entrées arrived, we were somewhat satisfied; the salmon was quite good, although the potatoes were extremely dry, so I pushed those aside. My fiancé ordered the chicken San Remo and enjoyed it for the most part. However, we continued to wait for dessert for another 30 minutes—and we still hadn't received our sausage and pepper appetizer. During this time, we watched the manager offer a family their meal for free because they had been waiting for 2.5 hours without receiving their entrées. Frustrated, my fiancé walked to the front to ask for the check since we didn’t want to wait any longer. We thanked a few staff members who had stepped in to assist. Ultimately, we will never return to this restaurant again. It was a very disappointing experience."

"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."
