  spaghetti con le vongole da buttare…vongole senza gusto sugo della pasta da vomitare meglio non prendere il dolce…. Spaghetti with clams, you should throw them away... clams with no flavor, pasta sauce you'd want to throw up. Better not have dessert...

  Went with my wife and a friend. Our experience was a mixed bag of great, good/average, and not so good. Great = The atmosphere, decorations, restaurant staff. It’s a beautifully decorated space - great interior decoration, extremely clean and well decorated bathrooms, and the staff we encountered were all extremely welcoming and friendly. The good/average = The food. The food good but not great - nothing special. The food looks good (photos included) and our friend enjoyed hers more than my wife and I. We both agreed - all in all - average. The not so good = the nickel-and-dime approach. We went for lunch, most restaurants give you bread, after 15 minutes or so - no bread, so I asked. Was told for dinner bread is included, but for lunch - table bread is $3.00 per serving. What?!! $3.00?? For bread?! They charge $3 for something every other restaurant includes… $3 for something that likely cost them at maximum no more than 0.50 cents!? And probably not even that. The waitress told us she gave us two “loaves” - I guess the $3 should only include one “loaf” but she gave us two. Now one “loaf” is approx 5x5” piece of focaccia bread cut into 4-5 pieces. Enough for 2 people so I guess that’s why she gave us two (one extra out of kindness). All in all - $3 for what should be given in good customer service and, “You’re paying $30-50 per person so the least we can do is include a .50 cent piece of bread.” Not them - Absolutely ridiculous!! That is the epitome of nickel and diming your customers! My wife and I later agreed we will never return. Too many other options we have to try in Colony Square.

  We went for the first time on Saturday evening. We had a reservation but decided to sit at the bar instead of a table. Brandon was working the bar and was pleasant and personable. We never felt rushed or that we were not getting great attention and service. The food was very good, portion sizes were generous and flavorful.

  Stick with the pasta. I ordered the rib eye and it was a mistake. Ordered medium, it was served well done. The server and manager were very apologetic but they took forever to get a replacement steak to me. The second steak was served medium-well but since my companions were already on dessert, I accepted it. The cut was thin and the quality was that of a moderate chain restaurant. The manager offered to comp a dessert or drinks but I wasn’t able to order dessert due to their extreme slowness and I didn’t want anything alcoholic. They could have comped my husband’s drink but they didn’t and they charged us for an appetizer someone else at our table ordered.

  The ambience is wonderful. It feels like a home. The service was just ok. Our server was nice but seemed like he was tired or ready to go, wasn’t accommodating when we asked if there were any options of substitutions. We did not have to receive the substitution, the issue is that the waiter did not at least ask the kitchen if the substitution could be made and we did not note that there was a “no substitution” on the menu. I ordered the tagliatelle bolognese. It was lacking in flavor. Once I added salt it tasted much better, but it’s disappointing to go out to eat and have to season the food. My friend ordered the short rib pasta and it was delicious. It wasn’t hot just barely warm and cooled very quickly, but it was very delicious. For dessert we ordered the sweet potato creme brûlée (and it was delicious) and the lemon curd donuts. The lemon curd is too sweet and does not taste like lemon curd more of a lemon sauce. The donuts are definitely a shareable; they taste like funnel cake. Everything was a good portion size. It’s not overpriced in my opinion, but when I have to season the food I don’t like that. Outside of that we had a decent time. Parking can be a struggle so give yourself extra time.
