                          We waited 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive and my daughters drink was delivered and they forgot about mine. After asking twice she finally delivered my white wine which was warm and I asked for ice cubes. We then ordered calamari that was cold in the middle and was all tentacles. I had the chicken dish for dinner and there was so much sauce that the dish was overflowing. I did order another glass of Pinot Grigio which also came out warm again. We will not be back for $170 it was not worth it.

                          Took my in laws here for dinner and while the food was great and our server was very friendly, it took nearly 2 hours to get our meals. They offered a round of drinks or dessert for our trouble but we just wanted to move on with our evening. I was a little surprised they didn’t take the one round of drinks we already had off of our bill, but oh well.
