"I?ll start with this used to be my favorite local Italian joint? Went on a date night here with my husband last night. Our server was friendly and mostly attentive. Ordered a Caesar salad with my entree, way too much dressing on it but I sucked it up.Entree was decent but not what it used to be, their marinara sauce on eggplant parm used to be amazing-not anymore. When it cametime for boxes our waitress disappeared, we didn?t get drink refills as requested, a different waitress boxed our leftovers andimmediately brought the check. I wanted dessert to take home but whatever. While waiting for our check I watched a waitresswhose last table left (it?s about 8 pm at this point) go to the bar and pour a glass of wine. No big deal she was off shift. Wepaid and left. When we walked outside our ?2nd? waitress and the waitress who was drinking wine were sitting outside. Again nobig deal perhaps they were off shift, however, just seems unprofessional to be sitting outside the front entrance drinking whilecustomers are still inside. Business hours are until 10 pm so perhaps they could have waited until closing. Heated up myleftover eggplant parm for dinner tonight again just mediocre, few bites in and guess what I bit into?STEEL-WOOL/Brillopad/scouring pad. Glad they?re cleaning their pots and pans in the kitchen but really could have done without the STEEL! I hatewriting negative reviews but this place is really going downhill, doubt I?ll be back to give another try."
