    I wish when you book your reservation or when you confirm your booking that they tell you about staying for only 1hour 30mins. We tried the winterlicious menu, first of all the appetizers are salads. The pasta was the best dish and the burger was horrible. And when we were being seated the host at the front was not the nicest and even told us that winterlicious was $35 but than the server confirmed it was $27. I had that pizza dish which should have been served with fries because why was my starter a salad and than my meal included the exact same salad. The menu just wasn’t thought out properly. Would I come back, probably not.

    My friend and I went here for dinner last night. The coffee and mozzarella sticks were nice but the spicy rigatoni was really bad. It was undercooked and the pasta was hard. We could barely eat it. The staff did not even come ask how the meal was. Otherwise the staff was friendly and the ambiance is good.
