Simply put; good service, but the food is mediocre. My wife and I had lunch there today and neither of us were very impressed. We each got a lunch combo. We started with Caesar salads that were made with old bagged lettuce. The lettuce was tossed with dressing, croutons and Parmesan. The other ingredients were probably very good but the extremely non-fresh lettuce ruined it. We also got the stuffed mushroom appetizer which was decent. The pasta was okay as well, the ingredients were at least reasonably fresh but there nothing to get excited about. The server was very attentive so we gave him a nice 20% tip. After all, he didn't prepare the lackluster food but did an exceptional job. All together we spent forty dollars that was forty dollars poorly spent. Live and learn.
