Playing club music??? Wow wrong vive could hardly talk at the table!!

Awful. Food was salty, loaded with what had to be msg. Just inedible. We all felt sick after. Restaurant is a dive bar, but not in a fun way. Dirty and loud with horrible food and equally horrible service. I have no idea how it got any good reviews at all. Definitely skip.

Food was awful. Service was worse. The waitress was on her phone and never came to check on our table. The whole experience was awful! I went to this restaurant about three months ago and the food was amazing and the service was awful. The food was so good I thought I would give it another try. Get the food got worse in the service one even more downhill. I will never go here ever again.

Don't order online...my meal arrive incomplete sans meatballs...called to ask if they could remove charge for undelivered food..Manger unapologetically said no take it up with door dash...then hung up...who looks over the processing of orders in your kitchen and staples the bags?...door dash!..poor customer servive...I eat out a lot....not here any more

Arrived for an early dinner with friends; the bar scene lively not too many people eating It took about 45 mins to get our food once we ordered. there was only one other couple in the entire restaurant. Very slow but good service. Food ok; better the first time i went

4 of us went & all our meals were amazing. The appetizers were yummy. Zucchini fritters & lollipop lamb chops were cooked to perfection! Would highly recommend

In short, lost one star for the below average food. Lost another for the extreme delay. Lost another for the inexcusable reason for the delay, poor staffing and planning. And lost the last for the subpar apology I received from someone posing as an authority figure there.Apps - the burrata was disappointing, the inside had the consistency of crumbly feta cheese instead of being the soft, creamy texture I was used to, while the eggplant rollatini was very salty even for me which is saying something. We were almost done with apps before the bread came.It was Father’s Day, but the restaurant was maybe a third full when we sat down, max half as the night wore on, and as more tables sat down, the only things coming out for anyone were pizzas and apps. As the delay dragged on, our waitress started avoided coming back to our section (I would too if I was put in that situation) and when we went up to check with her, she showed us the ticket saying the entrees were fired at 6:45. Ultimately we didn’t get our entrees until 7:30, a full hour after we’d ordered. She claimed it took 45 minutes to cook 3 entrees because they only had one chef. When I asked if it was normal practice to only have one chef working, she said on Sundays, yes. When I pointed out that it was Father’s Day (and I didn’t say this part, but summer weekends and only one chef is absurd) and that it made no sense, she said she understood and it had been a discussion they’d had but she had no control over the staffing.After she went away, someone in a Hawaiian looking shirt came over to “apologize” and said he “hoped we enjoyed our food”, in fact that seemed to be the only thing he was capable of saying. He then added that “they’d just turned off Uber eats because the kitchen was overwhelmed.” At that time, my mother decided to send her salmon back because it was swimming in sauce and over-salted and inedible. As frustrated and incensed as we clearly were, you’d expect him to offer to comp something but no, so I flat out told him I wasn’t paying for that dish. I didn’t appreciate his lack of reasonable ownership and acceptance of culpability and when I said that to him, all he could say was “that’s understandable”. I felt like I was chastising a child, that’s how confident I was in his ability to manage the restaurant. Poor kid clearly couldn’t manage his way out of a paper bag, let alone this place.My dad’s chicken was dry and my porcini pappardelle was greasy and strangely bitter. The bread and the drink was the best part of the meal.You couldn’t pay me to come back even if there were 50 chefs in the kitchen. Absolute disaster.

Worst. Experience. I. Have. Ever. Had. Place was busy with hardly any one to work there. Two bus boys and one waitress who also bartended and a hostess walking around up front asking if they’ve been helped. It took over an hour for our food to come out. And we asked that part of an entree to be on the side which it wasn’t. No one to come around and refresh our water. When we complained as we left, it was only “It’s hard now. I’m sorry. “ and nothing else. Nothing to attempt to make it right. I. Will. Never. Go. Back. Again. And I will tell everyone of our experience.

Amazing place. Food is great , staff is super friendly.

Staff was nice but service and atmosphere felt amateurish. It was very loud. Food was fine.
