    The food was good but the service was bad and it was very loud. We had to repeatedly ask for drink refills and condiments. They did not have nonalcoholic beer. The waitress did not seem to know that there is nonalcoholic beer. She offered Michelob Ultra when we asked for nonalcoholic.

    It was an easy walk from the Martin Marietta Center on a Saturday early evening such that we didn’t repark our car. Our waitress was adorable and we had drinks straight away. The risotto balls were recommended by our daughter and they did not dissapoint. My husband and I both had pasta dishes. He loved his tagliatelle bolognese and I had the raviolis. They were both excellent. The little bread balls they serve beforehand are addicting. The cheesecake with a caramel drizzle was our finishing touch. Great dinner in a first time place for us.

    The service was great. The servers helped each other out and it was very nice to see. I WAS EXTREMELY disappointed that they took the Kale Cesar salad off the menu. The only reason we used to go more often. Hadn't dined at Gravy in a while and was taken by surprise that it was gone. The risotto was not great. I was expecting a white creamy risotto and got a marinara based risotto (my fault for not reading the menu thoroughly) which honestly just tasted like rice wth red sauce. I ordered the basic Chicken Alfredo as a safety dish, which was good. My family enjoyed all their meals, chicken parm, ravioli, eggplant parm. The bread was delish and the cocktails and mocktails too.
