"The house salad and the garlic knots are the best things about this place. Absolutely delicious! I came after church with a group of about a dozen people. We had a reservation so they were set up for us. Other than a couple of other tables, we had the place to ourselves. Service was slow but we were ok talking while we waited. Unfortunately, our dirty salad dishes sat on the tables and it was difficult to get the entrees on the table because of it. One of our party didn't receive her meal until after everyone else had almost finished eating. Apparently it was left off the order. The server should have caught that had she come back to check on the meal, but she didn't. Once that was taken care of though, that item really should not have been charged on the tab. I ordered a pasta dish with scallops and shrimp. It came with 2 scallops, 5 shrimp and 1 shrimp tail. The seafood was overcooked so it was tough, and all I could taste was some sort of vinegar (balsamic? . I shared a limoncello dessert which really tasted like nothing more than lemon sorbet. The meal dishes were also left on the table for far too long. I have been a server and know what a hard and dirty job it is, but making sure diners have a good experience is part of the job and good service gets rewarded with good tips. The service here was below adequate. Other than the salad and garlic knots, I was disappointed overall. I might go back sometime and try something else from the menu but it will be a while before I do. I need time to get over the disappointment."
