    As much as we were all hopeful for a new dining experience, our party of six were disappointed with the quality of food, especially taste wise. Three people in our party ordered chicken marsala, which was more like a brown sauce than a marsala wine sauce. One person in our party ordered shrimp Mozambique which was more thick and tasted nothing like Mozambique french fries with drizzled in the sauce and rice was instant not cooked white rice. We ordered calamari to start, and that was overcooked and flavorless truffle tarts were nothing amazing either desserts were OK. Portions were large, but who wants to take leftovers that you weren’t completely satisfied with. We are thinking that the sandwiches and pizzas and burgers might be the best option of choice at this establishment.

    We ordered buffalo chicken wings and the server brought them to our table and told us that the kitchen had not marinated the chicken wings in barbecue sauce and just added sauce to the side. They had to be returned to the kitchen. This led to our entire order being delivered at the same time. However they never brought the French fries to us and still charged us. We asked for a WI-FI password and we’re told they didn’t give that out. How can an establishment in this day and age not have Wi-Fi. We will not be returning and do not recommend.

    Great American food experience, food was great, service was overwhelmed (it was prime time on a Friday night)… so staggered food arrival (party of 6) drinks were a bit of a wait but not for a lack of trying. Beer/drink menu was about two seasons behind in updating so take a picture of the board on your way in. Great portion sizes,tasty apps and meals. Bathrooms and restaurant were clean albeit cobwebs and dust on the lights. We’ll be back for sure, looks like a big take out aspect as well.
