"We were in the area and looking for a place to eat... Found it via Google Maps and gave them a call. The lady on the phone said they can seat us right away if we can get there soon which we did. The place wasn't too packed for a Friday around 6:30. Decor was very old school, looking like it was from 100 years ago. First off, the bread and butter was really good. Even knowing we had yummy food coming out, we couldn't resist. We started off with the arancini. The pesto was a bit minty which was refreshing. A Greek salad was a bit different...more like a regular salad with some ingredients from Greek salad mixed in. Not bad but wasn't what we expected. B Bolognese was tasty but too salty. The pasta had good chew and the sauce was good... Had to eat it with something else to cut the saltiness. A We got the burger medium rare. It was definitely more of the rare side with a very pink middle...we could have sent it back to the kitchen but decided to give it a go. It was decent and fries were alright. Next time, we'll get the burger medium. B Savings the best for last the short rib Mac and cheese was amazing. The short rib appeared to be braised and very tender. We thought the sauce consistency was a bit watery but it was just right when we tasted it. By far the best dish and this alone would bring us back. I had actually mixed some of that salty bolognese with this and it was decadent. A The wait staff all seem to help each other out so that helps with efficiency. The food came out super fast! Overall, great experience."
