Starting with the dining area, we found the table to be uncomfortable. Way too many people crammed together. Reminded me of P.F. Chang's. It was also pretty loud. Next, the food - the best thing was the Veal meatball appetizer. The tripe was mediocre. We did order some bread with goat cheese and honey and that was good. On the entrée side of things, One of my friends had the pork chop. It was too thin for his liking. We all tried, and agreed. The only real flavor was the coating on the chop. I had the sword fish. It too was cut way too thin. The Sicilian sauce was tasty, but the fish was swimming in it. Too much for such a thin piece of fish. It too was mediocre. Another friend had the braised beef short rib. He liked it and it was cooked pretty well. Thumbs-up on that one. Another person in our party had meatball and spaghetti. He said the best part were the meatballs. He left most of the pasta. We did enjoy the wine list. Finally, the wait staff. We all thought our waiter was too laid-back. Not entirely knowledgeable about certain items on the menu. Could not answer some questions regarding menu items. I have found this to be a problem in too many restaurants around the country. Overall, I must differ from many of the reviews that have been posted. I and my friends found the restaurant and the food to be nothing extraordinary. It was average in all categories. Hence, the 3- Stars. We surmise that the thin pork chop and the thin sword fish is a product of the kitchen wishing to turn out such items as quickly as possible. Turnover is high, and they move fast. We may come back to try the pizza and order more of the meatball appetizer.
