The food was not good. We ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer - the chips was chewy and wet. We ordered chicken nachos - the cheese was cold. My son ordered chicken strips that were hard as rocks and difficult to eat. I won’t eat here again.

OpenTable allowed for reservations at 8:45 pm and 9:00 pm when the restaurant doesn't. We went to the restaurant at 8:55 pm (booking said the reservation will be held till 20 mins after booked time). But the restaurant folks said the kitchen is closed by 9 pm, and they wouldn't seat us. So, I had to request for a take out atleast as it was a long day, after a red-eye flight the previous night to Chicago and driving from there to UIUC to drop off kid at college. So, they prepared what we ordered, chicken orzo soup and the fettuccine pasta. The soup had too much chicken. Pasta was ok. Hope opentable can be corrected to only show proper reservation timings.

Great good fast service . Wife’s pasta was hard but they took off bill . All of our other meals were excellent. They also offered her replacement meal or dessert but we were on time crunch. They did all in their power they could to remedy. Great visit .

Not a great experience. Restaurant was more than half empty, but it still took 30 minutes to get our appetizer and drinks. Was told that “flatbread takes a long time”. Flatbread was burnt. Soup was ice cold. Pasta was also cold and bland. They forgot to include the french fries for our son’s kids meal. They charged us for an order of french fries we did not order or receive. When we asked to have it removed from the bill the waitress was annoyed. She then claimed she couldn’t find a manager to adjust the bill and the only thing she could do was offer us a gift card for the same amount. Rough night.
