    We were seated quickly, waiter came shortly after. Food was okay, but way overpriced. We got eggplant parmigiana and it was overcooked. Our kids enjoyed their meals. Waiter was not super attentive.

    I have been here many times before but service was terrible… The server spilled Mountain Dew on my coworker and dropped a beer on my daughter legs… We never got an apology for any of these accidents… Very disappointing experience

    The staff is legitimately disengaged. Service was slow and the food was below restaurant quality. Fellow diners were extremely loud and needed reminding that the restaurant was a shared space.

    It was ok. We had a group of 12 on a Sun night. The kids enjoyed it… our server wasn’t very attentive so it always takes a couple tries to hunt him down. Maybe they’re under staffed. Food was just soso.

    The server must have been overloaded because it took forever for her to come back for anything. The food was good. The bread was on the hard side. Really it was just the service that made this a bad experience. It’s can be very pricey eating here so it would have been helpful to have more attentive service. I didn’t even get my water refilled. The wine deal was great.

    The waiter was kind and attentive. It is unfortunate that the food was bland. It was bland and expensive.
