    I found this restaurant to be below average. The food was only average but it was overpriced. We had good service. Our waiter was attentive, that was expected as we were one the 2 or 3 tables that were occupied.

    Our waitress was wonderful. I would give the food a four out of five. We were there for a business meeting so they sat us in a quiet area and took good care of us.

    We were told to seat ourselves. It was a while before anyone came to help us. Two of the napkins at our table were dirty. We just got some off of another table. We finally got service. I would have rated service higher if we would have been acknowledged sooner. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. They just needed more people working. I was not impressed with the food or the ambiance, especially for the price.

    Very nice place in Wyndam Hotel. Menu is good. A better wine list is something they should think about.

    It was Valentines Day and I decided to go with a friend to have dinner. I know it was ridiculous to expect to find a place worth making a reservation for, but this place sounded decent enough. I was surprised in so many ways, none of them good. I pulled in the parking lot and saw that the restaurant is attached to a run-down Wyndam motel. I walked to the entrance to the motel and went in and was met with a construction zone and was not able to move gorward due to caution tape. There were no signs, so ai did’t know where to go. I went back outside and walked to the other end of the structure, only to find a loading dock. I called the phone number and was told to enter through the motel entrance and I explained that i had and there were no signsnor instructions on how to get to the reataurant. The guy told me where to go and I eventually ended up walking half the perimeter of thw inside halls on the Wyndam to find the entrance to the restaurant. It was 5:45 and the place was almost completely empty. The small tables were old and a German-looking wooden style, the waitress rolled her eyes at me when i tried smashing the thin lemon slices to add to my water, as well as when i ordered chicken parmesan without the spaghetti. She looked at me with a look of wuestion on her face and cocked her head sideways. I felt compelled to divulge that I am a diabetic and I can’t eat pasta, the breaded chicken was a stretch in itself. Only then did she let it go! The caprese salad would have been ok, without the grossly strong flavor of balsamic vinegar gone sour. I couldnt eat it. When the assistant came and took it away, i said nothing about it being bad. There were 5 or 6 entrees and 5 or 6 pasta choices on the menu. They seemed to only have a couple of different additions to their entrees - mushroom risotto, garlic bread triangle and side salad. They offer more appetizers than entrees. I wanted to give some detail because i DO NOT recommend this restaurant.

    This place is not good by any means. How this place is listed on open table is pretty funny cause we were looking for something different and it sure was. We didn't finish the food it was so bad. We left after my wife had trouble cutting through her meatballs. No joke they refused to be cut. So it was listed on open table for romantic events or something to that effect. We'll we make a reservation amd when we get there the place is empty. Only workers. One guy says to sit anywhere if that want painfully obvious. Just found it strange that this place would be on here. We tried to make the best of it amd didn't complain cause hey the server didn't make the food but nothing about this place is any shap or form Italian or fine dining. I guess it my fault for wanting to branch out but please aware cause some of these places are misleading. Just like some of them hotel apps. I would say the best thing about it was the rum and cokes but even thar was cheap coke and Barton rum. Idk what else to say but good luck if you stumble across this place. I tried the chicken parmasan and my wife had the spaghetti and meatballs. We tried to keep it simple given what we were looking at and it wasn't good.

    Bailed out of Birthday dinner downtown without reservations and made a line for Nicolino's with a 7pm reservation. We dined in the lounge on apps and pizza with salad. The food was good and the service was superior. Bartender and servers stopped multiple times to check on us. Very nice experience!

    The food was good. The service was slow and we sat with empty glasses for extended periods and the restaurant was about half full.
