"We are long time customers and have even brought friends here. The food is quite good. Just yesterday we had dinner there and we had Annie as a server. Things did not go well from the start. We told her to bring us focaccia bread with the usual bread butter they offer. Right away she said they ran out if it (we’ve heard that many times in the last year). My husband and I we both ordered chicken yolanda which comes with pasta. I asked for linguine and although I asked for the pasta to be well cooked, it came out al dente which is hard, and difficult for me to digest. After we finished we realized we never got the salad that is included. We had to ask for it and had it after the main food. When the bill came I noticed I was charged $3.95 for seltzer water. I was surprised because many restaurants don’t charge for that. By the time you add tax tip, you pay $5 for essentially water with gas. What happened after, finally really put us off. Since the server screwed up and never brought the salad before the main course like she’s supposed to and we were now eating it at the end, Annie the waitress kept coming to grab the payment. She saw we were eating but yet came a total of 4 times. She kept interrupting and we kept saying we didn’t do it yet. On the fourth time I finally had enough of her and the pressure she was putting on us and I told her she was too much and I don’t want her coming to the table again until we’re done. In a very obnoxious tone she said “got it”. We were so put off I’m not sure we’ll be rushing back there even though we’re long time patrons. To our disappointment we also found out they no longer do the 1/2 price special on Mondays like they used to. My rating is 3 stars because the food is good but I would give 1 star for the service"
