    Had reservation and waited 15 minutes for table Waitress made us wait additional 10 minutes No bread no butter at table / had to ask twice Asked for extra marinara with my entree If anything there wasn’t enough let alone extra Waitress never checked on our table till we were 90 per cent finished so needless to say i didn’t get a chance to ask for additional sauce
