I mean they are all nice, but can’t seem to be bothered at the same time. Like they have better things to do than to help you. Takes forever to pay the bill lately too, seems odd. Take my money for this over priced meal please. The food used to be amazing, now it’s good. Tonight for the first time, it’s wasn’t even good. Maybe it was just a bad night.

The lights were so bright, more like a cafeteria than a nice restaurant. We asked them to dim them a bit and they did, but it was still too bright. Service from waiter eas mediocre. They were out of stock of a few things on their beer list.

The food was okay, standard italian fair but needed salt. Once we got some salt the food was good so to speak but not amazing. Coasters under the water glasses go a long way on the islands as a sweaty glass will drip on your nice shirt and tie; just a thought. The Tiramisu was nicely done and overall it was a good dinner. Friendly staff although they seemed a bit overwhelmed. 3.7 out of 5
