This place had such good reviews and I really wanted my best friend to have a good experience for her birthday dinner. DISAPPOINTED is an understatement. As soon as we walked in the host was rude and immediately glared at us without even welcoming us to the restaurant. Instead, we had to approach her saying we had a reservation. Fast forward to actually getting our food: the appetizer, salad (i ordered) and WATER were the only things we enjoyed. 3 of us ordered fettuccine and one of us ordered the quinoa salad to which we were completely baffled by. The fettuccine was extremely undercooked; there’s a very distinct difference between Al dente and undercooked, to which our dishes were most definitely the latter. As for taste, It was as if alcohol and lemon had just been dumped over the top, both of which were not in the description of ingredients on the menu. It wasn’t cheesy in the slightest. Absolutely nothing about the dish was worth $27. The quinoa bowl was mushy and dry, with the dressing adding no assistance. We all had plates seemingly untouched on the table and our server, Amanda G, did not think to ask if there was an issue with our food when we didn’t ask for boxes and the full plates were taken away . The birthday girl then took the initiative to ask what was in the fettuccine because it tasted off. Amanda then proceeded to dismiss her concerns stating we don’t know what true Italian is supposed to taste like because we live in america. She also stated that a hint of truffle was added to the pasta, also not listed on the menu. What if there was an allergy? This is bigger than not enjoying the flavors, or rather, lack thereof. When the birthday girl asked if there was any dessert specials for birthdays she then TOLD her, not questioned, “we have a cannoli. you don’t know what a cannoli is” treating her like an idiot. We all felt very taken aback and offended by her snide and passive aggressive comments. She also took over 30 minutes to get our checks. We had places to be. Overall, the cost of dining at this establishment should not be used as a marker of its quality; everything from the food to the staff was subpar at best. I strongly encourage you to do better and value your customers time and money.
