We tried this restaurant thru doordash, for the two-for-one pasta woozie.... it was over salted big time... the chicken was very tough and the pasta tasted like the ingredients weren't right for the homemade pasta..the warm cake was delicious..fyi

My main comment here is the food. It was quite bad. I ordered the Pasta Woozie and my friend ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo adding chicken. The waitress told my friend it comes with spinach. What? It does not. We both received our dishes. My Pasta Woozie was Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and spinach. My friends dish was the exact same as mine. Pasta Woozie has BOWTIE pasta not fettuccine noodles. Ok… fine. I didn’t complain. I was going to eat it anyways. The pasta was dry and sauce was not flavorful at all. I was extremely disappointed. My friend said the exact same thing about her dish. She ate it in spite. She added salt and pepper. I won’t be going back there. The service was fine. Our waitress was a bit of a character… loud and bossy. It was the food that was awful. I took 2 bites. I packed the rest for home. My dog was happy.

Christmas eve was horrible. They ran out of glasses had to wait 30 mins for water, 45mins for soft drinks and 70 mins for wine...all ordered at the same time. Bread took 45 mins, no oil and no plates. Had to go find plates for bread and appetizers on our own along with water refills. Overheard mgt of some level telling another table that they fell into bankruptcy and another company brought them out and are doing things differently. Well they are going to run themselves right out of business. Food was pretty good but service and I don't mean just the wait staff but the whole system is horrible and broken. Will never go there again!

We were Christmas shopping Sunday 21st. Decided to stop in for an afternoon drink and appetizer. However, when we sat down at the bar, The bartender Michelle seemed to be annoyed with the few customers she had sitting at the bar. First thing she said was, I'll be with you in a couple minutes then started to wash glasses. . at that time, the two ladies sitting next to us who had not got their drinks got up and left. The bathroom was dirty, no toilet paper in the stall, and no soap in the dispenser. After having one drink, we knew we did not want to be there in those vibes, it was time to go. Used to love going there years ago when the place was up and running With great service and food. I hope the bartenders day got better

We stopped in today, walked up to the bar and sat down. The bartender looked at us like she didn’t even care, didn’t even offer us waters, or smile or acknowledge or anything..there were 2 other couples sitting there with no drinks. Only two couples had had been served. There are so many choices to eat and drink nowadays , so we got up and left.
