We had a reservation, thankfully. Very busy Friday night, food came out slow. Some hot, some not.
Waitress did not come around to check up much

Food was great, but Noah made the visit unforgettable!!! Very polite, pleasant and made sure we felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Even when my 87yr old father forgot what noodles he wanted and accidentally ordered the wrong ones. Noah said no problem we can change that for you. Even offered to put all our food under the heat lamps to keep it warm so we could all eat at the same time. Make sure to ask for Noah when you get there!

Got the new baked trio, the cannelloni was under cooked and chewy the lasagna had no meat or cheese, was just layers of pasta stuck together. Was so disappointing for $30. My kid got the trio meal for kids and was about the same potion of food!
