We are giving this restaurant one star because we have no choice. When we first sat down they offered us white cheese and it had no flavor. The bread brought to the table was cold and hard. We ordered garlic shrimp as as appetizer and the shrimp was cold and it had no garlic flavor at all. We ordered the melon and ham and the ham tasted like it had been in the fridge too long and the pieces of melon were huge and not appetizing at all. The olives were ok but had their pit which makes it hard to enjoy. We decided at that very moment that we wanted to cancel the order pay for what we had on our table because we knew that the food was really going to be bad. The manager after being told we had to cancel the order he was very rude and wanted to force us to pay for the food that we didn't have on our table. He kept ranting and raging and berated his employee. We offered to pay for what we received numerous times. The manager refused to listen and sent his waiter to talk to us. After we asked to talk to the manager again, they told us to get out. Again we wanted to pay for the food that we didn't eat and they were truly the rudest people ever. He also told us never to return to the restaurant. Thank God we don't live in New Jersey and when we visit there are plenty of other good restaurants. We came here based on reviews

In response to your reply: It really doesn't help if you start to say lies. We didn't want to eat the food because it was of poor quality NOT because we couldn't afford it. We dine out in really upscale restaurants and that's why we visited your place but found it was just not good. We didn't eat all of the bread because it was stale and cold. We didn't eat all of the cheese. The olives were complimentary and eaten but again they had pits which makes it hard to eat. We wanted to like it really but we COULDN'T!We offered to pay but the manager acted up and verbally abused the waiter. The waiter told us that it would come out his pocket which is unfair. We have family in the restaurant business and know how important the tips are. Again own up to admit that you were not happy hearing that the food was awful and unappetizing. The manager flipped out and didn't keep his professionalism when he stormed back and forth yelling at the waiter who took care of us. Lastly I guarantee I will not be the last person to complain unless you start cooking better. Thanks for trying.
