   If you are trying to reserve a specific room, you’re going to need to go down there and speak face-to-face with a human, I guess. I reserved a spot for a large party and put in the comments “pipe room, please.” I thought maybe that wasn’t enough, so I called and spoke with someone and was reassured that I was in the books for the pope room. We get there and they just seat us at a random long table. When I asked about the pope room, I was just told blankly that our party was too large (18) for the pope room. When I said hey, turns out, 4 people have cancelled, can we have the pope room? “There’s already a group in there.” It just really sucked and I wasn’t offered anything to make up for it. And they were out of: wine glasses, ravioli, and draft beer. Several of us commented the food was bland, specifically the Cesar salad (it just tasted….wet?) and the Alfredo. This place has the potential to be cool and kitschy and fun but it feels like no one’s really trying? It was just disappointing.

   Tha absolute best Italian food I have eaten in my lifetime. The portions are huge so when they say shareable they are and still have some to take home.

   Reservations through open table had us seated immediately on a Saturday night at 6pm. Others were told 45 minute wait. Food was prepared perfectly, service was good even though there was a large group on a tour bus. Be prepared for family style entrees after 3pm and on the weekend.

   There was no heat in the entire restaurant. It is February 15. The waiter never checked on us, never brought more water. Not many people there. This place was recommended to us and I am sure was fabulous at one time but is not recommended by us to anyone until they can get some things straightened out.

   I love Buca and go there many times a year including yearly for Valentine’s Day but this year they was behind and missing the same service that I am used to I was sitted 30 minutes after reservation, and the very last person in the building I know I was not the only one scheduled for that time slot

   Showed up for my Valentines Day dinner. Reservations were at 8:15. Arrived promptly, and was told there was a 30 minute wait for my reservation. They also brought us a $25 giftcard for inconveniences, which was common for everyone, so no big deal. I then proceeded to get my table at 8:47 pm, waited until 9:10pm without being greeted by a server to then proceed to walk out of the restaurant. This experience turned what was supposed to be a nice night with my s/o, into us starving and ruined Valentine’s dinner since it was already WAY to late to go eat anywhere else.

    We made a reservation for 18:15 on Valentine’s day; when we arrived at our time the waitress told us it would be another hour. We never got to eat.
