3.5 stars. Enjoyed our first time here. Great for large groups to go grab food cafeteria style. Signage could be better to explain where tables are for eating and what the menu items are exactly. I couldn’t find descriptions of the main courses so I wasn’t confident to order any of them. I chose a penne pasta with ricotta and red sauce. Ended up going BACK through the line bc I didn’t realize I could get meatballs with it (didn’t even see them the first time through).

My husband got a meatball sub and said it REALLY needed some cheese but otherwise was good.

The lady at the counter taking food orders was pretty unhelpful for a first-time customer. And she didn’t have a smile or seem like she wanted to be there at all. The guys cleaning the tables and serving water upstairs, however, were incredibly friendly, warm and really helped correct the negative tone I experienced in the food line.

The huge selection of desserts were amazing! We got a few things but the lobster tail and chocolate covered orange peels are my personal recommendation. I ended up taking them home and enjoying them the next day for breakfast. YUM.

A little expensive, IMO, for cafeteria style food. A small salad is 8.50 and no option for something smaller as a side. My pasta was $10 and meatballs were $4 EACH. They’re big meatballs but that price is a bit steep. I’d say 3 meatballs (what I had) is a good portion of protein for a meal. 2 if you tend to eat smaller portions.

Parking was not great. The lot was full with cars lined into the street waiting to get in. There was an event at the excel center the same night so I’m not sure if this had any effect on the parking or if it’s always like that. I believe you pay $6.50 to park in their lot. Maybe it’s bc I’m from the south metro but I think parking should be free. We ended up going down a couple blocks and paying $20 to park so we didn’t have to wait.

Overall, my family enjoyed it and we will be back.
