Review:






Atmosphere:

if I had known it was going to be so fancy I would have done my hair.


Fancy Schmancy



Service:

WTF? was anything right? but they were all super nice.


First off, I would like to say that I've been there 2 other times and not had any problems. But LAST night, WHEW! I had won a free happy hour and they apparently didn't know that I had it scheduled for that night and they also had 2 large groups of people coming in (like groups that had reserved half of the restaurant) We were moved to 3 different tables. Twice we were brought food that we didn't order (CLOSE to what we ordered, but not what we ordered) and the waiter didn't seem to know what to charge us for and what not to. Also, what was listed as the soup of the day (asparagus cream) was in fact clam chowder (YUCK!) Somehow magically the bills were all correct though. And the manager (?) was very apologetic and gave us an additional free pizza.

Food:
I regretted my choice of pizza after I tried someone else's choice. theirs was damn good.



Their pizza is really REALLY good. and I like the gnocchi and chocolate mousse I had there last time.

APPROVED!:
Lontee winning the free stuff! And the getting more free stuff cause the reservations were messed up.

Good Food. Entertaining, but not intentionally. Just because of all the stuff that happened.

Not approved:
the service. I mean seriously, did any of the 5 different people who served us have a clue about what was going on?

I really wanted that asparagus cream soup!



Intend to return?:
despite or maybe because of (it was so bad it was comical) the service, I would.


Delicious Pizza, so YES!
