Other than my husband's fettuccine Alfredo, which is essentially pasta and cheese, none of the food we ordered came out fresh. Our appetizer, Mussels Blanco, smelled overly-fishy. The white whine sauce was inexplicably gelatinous and it tasted old. I'll just come out and say it, the mussels and the sauce stunk. I've cooked with mussels, clams, and crab and many different kinds of fish so I know I'm not over-exaggerating or speaking out of ignorance. My grandfather was a second generation Italian immigrant as well so I have a strong sense of Italian flavors and I know when shellfish has gone bad. My entree "Lamonte's famous garden salad" was all wilted leaves and sogginess in my bowl. The chicken I ordered was overcooked and tasted like boiled oregano. Very pricey restaurant for such sub-par food. I would never bring my family here and my husband and I will not go back. The servers were very attentive but what is good service with bad food, really? I don't know what kind of recipes they are using or what kind of policy they have on storing vegetables but I am actually offended to have paid for such disgusting food. Maybe I'll laugh about it later, however, as I have just left the restaurant and I can still taste that awful food, I have yet to get over my frustration.
