"Sooo... The good: 1. excellent waiting staff (attentive and friendly, but not transferred) 2. Love the decor: brick, painting, velvet furniture, chandelier 3. The fresh baked bread and whipped butter is GD delightful, I could absolutely gorge on this 4th. Every time I make a reservation, no matter how crowded, I come to my reservation time. 5. The plant is completely nut-free (and for everyone with a nut allergy, that is a relief) 6. I love the menu option, several sauces with my pasta. It is a great way to try new things or mix flavors that complicate each other The average: 1. Tomato based pasta sauces tasted tinny, a true sign they are not homemade, yet cooked for a long time, as is right 2. The salad is literally bag mix and croutons that I do not consider a legitimate salad, I expect tomatoes, cucumber, onion at least (good dressing though).3. The Caesar salad is $2 more per meal and is the cheaper salad mix, but with Caesar Dressing. Baffling. Bad: The bathroom (male female) is a toilet for a very popular packed restaurant and was quite dirty (both of it) and missing toilet paper. This is a red flag for a restaurant. The staff should ensure that your bathroom does not have on the floor on a ice cream and are well equipped with toilet paper. If you keep your bathroom like this, I'll worry about how the cleaning standards of your kitchen are. I went to Trader Joe and her bathrooms were impeccable. No reason a grocery store should have clean bathrooms as a restaurant... 2. When it is busy, my food has been taken before I even had half of my salad (not a big deal), and was always lukewarm best (definitely a big deal). This means that you didn't even properly warm my food because the kitchen rushed, and the food here is not cheap enough to happen this kind of mistakes repeatedly. Overall, after giving them several chances, I just won't come back"
