    My husband ordered the lasagna and it was very average. It was more like meat and noodles. A lot of sauce that tasted like it came out of a can. It definitely was not a traditional lasagna. I had the scallops and they seemed like they were frozen too long. It was probably an off night but would not go back anytime soon.

    The food was outstanding. However, the service was disappointing. The server would reach across the table in front of our faces with food even though there was plenty of space to walk around the table to serve each person properly. She would also put our food or drink down and immediately turn and rush away before we could ask for anything additional.
