"This used to be our go to place for many, many years. Since the remodel it’s gone downhill. The vibe is very sterile, bright, corporate, and uncomfortable. The food has gone downhill. My steak and my husband’s salmon were both under cooked on the bottom half and overcooked on the top half last time we went. This time the salmon was burnt and my steak definitely had very dark char marks. On the menu it makes it sound like a topping sauce comes with the steak and then they charge your $4 for it. Also most of the sides cost an upcharge as well. Then, they put the plates tipped on the tray so all the Marsala sauce was on my fettuccine Alfredo instead of the steak. The food is now mediocre and overpriced for the much smaller portions. My son barely ate any of his food and refused to take it home because he didn’t like the spaghetti and meatball. The service used to be 5 star, now it’s less than 2. We were seated promptly and there were maybe 5 other tables. It took us an hour to get our food after we ordered. Also, tables that were seated after us ate first and one that came in at the same time as us were leaving by the time we got our food. This last visit the waitress hid in the back almost the entire time. My water cup (and only drink) was empty most of my meal and the one time she filled it she only filled it half way. She forgot to put in our appetizer and was had to ask another employee about it. Our waitress then brought out our food, said she forgot to put the appetizer in, and asked if we wanted her to put our food under the warmer while they cooked and brought out our appetizer. Anybody who works in the food industry knows that food placed under the warmer slowly dies and loses its quality. It really upsets our family to see a place we used to love going to go down into the dumpster. We gave it another try after our first bad experience, and this last time was worse than before. Honestly, I’ve had better experiences at Olive Garden and we used to never eat there because this place was so amazing, even if it was more expensive."

So good. The cannoli cake for two was a great way to finish, and the bread dippers was an amazing way to start.

"The dishes were impressive and flavorful. The food tasted very fresh. We arrived a bit late, around 3 PM, and noticed the staff was cleaning up in front of us while we were eating. Despite that, I had a good overall experience."

Didn't wow me. I was hoping for more than what they could provide, so that might be just me. I wasn't looking for run of the mill Italian restaurant, and that is how the food and atmosphere was. Olive garden has some competition, but Tuscany does not. The prices also are around the level of the food; the prices were in the menu in this case, yes. I'll swing by when that is the restaurant I'm looking for, but not for Valentines...unless the family is in tow.

After waiting 2+ hours from when we ordered our food they informed us they were out of mashed potatoes yet people who ordered after us were served mashed potatoes. Filet marsalla wasn 't marbled . It was just all non edible blubber (not the good kind. My 1 year old didn 't get her spaghetti until she was already too tired to eat. (2+ hours after ordering. My 3 year old got her food quickly only about 1.5 hours from when we ordered. I never did get a straw or refill. View menu

Honestly would give this place closer to a 4.3-4.4 if I could. Service was great! Service and food were really fast and even then so our waiter was beating himself up saying they could?ve been faster but in my opinion they were doing amazing. Only thingI would?ve changed if I were the chef is I would?ve liked to have my pasta a lit more Al Dente. That being said it was great allaround but for a more traditional Italian standard is could?ve done with a little less cooking.

I visited this restaurant for lunch with my coworkers yesterday. I took home my fettuccine Carrabba as leftovers because the serving size is huge. However, I discovered a toothpick in my food, which I’m relieved I found before eating it, but it’s still a bit alarming. The ends were burnt, so I suspect it might have been used with the chicken. Given the price of that dish, I was expecting better quality. Honestly, you could eat at Olive Garden for less, and the taste would be about the same. View menu

For years this has been a favorite place to dine for a nice evening and good food. We went this past weekend and had such a bad experience I had to leave a review. One of our guests ordered a steak medium rare and it came cold and uncooked. Not evenmedium in any way. The steak was tough and did not cut apart. As the waitress who was great noticed the issue and asked aboutit, she sent the manager to the table. He proceeded to argue with us, say his grill is 600 degrees and ?what should he changeit to for us? and basically ignored the raw, fatty, cold steak in front of him. Then he walked away. No apology, no discount,no comped drinks- nothing. He made us feel awful. We will not ever go back t...

"I feel torn on what to review Spicy Thai.. I had been years ago and remembered it being good. I came with some friends on a Friday evening. The restaurant was packed! We waited about 10 minutes before a table was ready no big deal. Our waiter took awhile to come and ask us what we wanted to drink. We browsed the menu and knew quickly what we all wanted to order. It took around 15 minutes for our waiter to come back after giving us our drinks and order our food. My husband and I ordered the egg rolls, pad Thai, and massman curry. The appetizer took around 20 minutes to come out, followed by the food about 20 more minutes. I know that it was a Friday night but the restaurant isn't that big. I don't know why it took so long to get our drinks and food. Our waiter brought the food and brought us the wrong curry. We had to ask for our massman curry. It was shortly brought out with no apology. The eggs rolls were tasty. They were very hot and full of filling. The chili sauce was the perfect amount of sweet and heat. The pad Thai was very good. It was a very generous portion and full of chicken which was a great surprise. The peanuts added a good texture. I was very impressed with this. The massman curry was only okay. It wasn't that flavorful and tasted like it was lacking or missing something. I did appreciate how much chicken was in it but would've liked to see more carrots and potatoes. The rice was cooked well. The food was nice and hot when it came out. It was very fresh. The reason for the three stars in the service. As mentioned above, it took awhile for all the food to come out. Our drinks were never refilled. After we got our food, our waiter never checked on us. We finished eating and had to ask a different waiter for boxes and our checks. The service needs to improve. I will be back for the food though."
