All dishes were served late. Waiters are not responsive. Italian noodles are not seasoned right, steak was mediocre at best. Price does not match service and food quality.

I wanted the waiter to explain the difference between the appetizer and entree portion of eggplant rollitini. He said the appetizer was 2 and the entree 4 pieces with a small side of vegetables. I ordered the entree came with 2 pieces. I returned it for the entree size. It took a half hour and they cut the 2 pieces into 4 and added lots of cheese AND SAUCE to camouflage it. I should have returned it. I would never return.
