   Ordered broccoli rabe as written on the menu but received broccoli. Broccoli rabe and broccoli are not the same. Another name for broccoli rabe is rapini a common Italian vegetable so surprised by this mistake. When I mentioned this to the waiter he merely apologized. At $18 I expect the correct vegetable. Very generous portion on meals and wine. Nice eating outside.

   We had a nice dinner, the music was great! If you want a very quiet evening this is not the place, at least inside but fun!

   No longer the restaurant it once was. The food is undistinguished, the diners are rushed through the meal, and the new prices reflect a quality that they simply don't attain. Nonetheless, with a captive audience and an active bar, they can smile all the way to the bank.

   Horrible. Ride and uncaring matte d and his assistant 30 minute wait to get table beyond reservation time and 45 minutes to get food. Maître d’ was dismissive as far as his assistant will never go back again noise level almost unbearable.

   We have been here a few times (more than 10 times in the past year) because it’s close to us and food is tasty and value is good. We are familiar with the wait staff and their service is also good. The main issue is that reservations are not respected and regulars that just come in are seated immediately while others who aren’t the managers favourites can wait up to an hour past their reservation time. We found this most unacceptable during our last visit, and due to this we will likely find somewhere else to eat in the future. Hopefully the manager takes this into consideration and makes adjustments.

    Overall the experience was not great! We made our reservation 2 days in advance for 7:30pm. We arrived 5 minutes early and presented ourselves to the host. We waited and waited as people were coming in behind us and being sat down almost immediately as they seemed like regular guests. At 8pm I spoke up as to our reservation. The host was alittle bit rude and assured we were the next table (he must think I was born yesterday) he was so obviously seating his regulars with no reservations before dealing with us! What a piece of garbage he was! Pretty sure one of the owners. My wife had the sea bass which as per her wasn’t very good! I had chicken parmigiana with pasta and all can say was everything wasn’t very good the sauce was not flavourful chicken dry and thin, the noodles undercooked with gobs of cheese atop the chicken. Also as we were led to our table a big burly waiter slammed into me knocking me into my wife no apology as I gave him a dirty look and after 10 minutes he circled back and said sorry! They had a guy playing music and singing so loud right beside us very annoying and not good at all. Our waiter was great first half the meal and I felt his attention was elsewhere second half the meal! Overall the meal and experience was really bad it was so bad that the word I want to use I cannot say on this format. Word of Advice to the host/owner guy at the front more attention to the back of the house than making love and hugging and kissing all his regulars as they come and go! Such garbage food

    Horrible experience, and incredibly rude management. While we completely understand that places can get busy, we generally always give it another chance if the staff are at least remotely pleasant. In this case, we were treated so horribly by management that I would never put my family in that position again. We arrived at the restaurant at 6:30 for a reservation (3 adults, 2 kids). Someone took us to a table on the patio, then told us to wait for a different table to be cleaned instead, and then disappeared. We waited a bit and then seated ourselves. When the waiter arrived, we asked to order the kids a pasta right away. He declined to take the order (he said he would only take it when we order the rest of the meal). Then he disappeared for a while. When he finally came back, we placed the full order with a rush on the kids’ pasta. Half an hour later, the kids’ pasta came out (fine), but we waited two hours for the rest of our food to come. Other tables were seated and served within that time. We were told “2-3 minutes” for a solid half hour by multiple people. When we went inside to speak to someone, we were told to go back to our seats. Some of the wait staff seemed empathetic, but our waiter yelled at us “it’s not my fault; I went to the manager but he won’t help or come talk to you!”. All of the tables around us were on our side, and they too were waiting a long time for their food (one table even left before ordering since they saw everyone complaining). It took so long to get our food that we needed to take it to go - and still the restaurant didn’t provide a discount on the original bill (we sent it back and they did give a small discount but not even remotely sufficient). We planned for a nice evening out and ended up eating out of takeout containers at home, after getting the kids to bed an hour late. We will always be understanding when businesses make mistakes, but in this case, we don’t stand for such horrible treatment of customers. We won’t be back.

    Food is great but they have really serious service issues. Ridiculous waiting time for food. When it eventually arrives it’s great but until then, it’s painful. Bring a game of scrabble to pass the time between salad and main.
