I have had many enjoyable and tasty dinners at Sbicca, with excellent service. Tonight was not one of those. The sweet potato fries were delicious. My entree salad however was not edible, except for the shrimp which were grilled nicely.

The cocktail menu was completely uninspired and sugar forward, which I don’t prefer. We asked the waiter for an Aperol forward Spritz and it came out very pale (champagne forward) they charged us for the extra shot of Aperol it took to create the requested balance! Waiter did not strike a rapport or check back hardly at all, which was surprising to me for such a local hotspot. Our meals were tasty, but my husband’s fettuccine from the daily special menu was just ok. again, I would expect more.

Our first experience at Sbicca. We invited guests to join us for dinner. We sat on the patio as there is not much of a dining room inside. The noise level was very loud with several over served patrons sitting at the bar. Our server was nice but not very attentive. We thought the food was only okay. There are too many other options in the area so no need to go back there again.

One of our servers was awesome but we didn’t see him enough. There was someone who seemed to be bartending as well as serving….he should stick to bartending. No customer service skills. Met my girlfriend visiting from Boston for lunch. We were both appalled as his lack of service. Fortunately the food we ordered was amazing & the other young man who served us was A++

Service was prompt and good. Some items (coconut shrimp, meatballs) were good, while other basics (bread with salsa, french fries were not. The bread was dry and stale and the french fries were soggy. Nice wine selection and loved the half off bottles on Tues/Thurs, but would not rush back here.

I would give it higher stars as I have been many times. We did request a seat on front patio. The host was very rude and said NO. But proceeded to seat a couple at the table we wanted. Why did they take priority? We both requested a table on patio. The 2 hosts are in the service business... take care of your customers. Very rude. Not good hosts at Sbicca...

I had a 4:30 reservation, however we had to sit at bar until the top seating starts at 5:00, would have made the reservation later had I known? Fried chicken was excellent including lobster bisque. Service was somewhat slow due to large group in private room which took up most of Casey's time and attention. Overall good, no mention of my BD. All good.

The bacon wrapped shrimp was very good. The California Tacos were very bland and the filet mignon on the tacos was tough. It also said part of the ingredients was crispy potatoes, I do not think french fries thrown on top of meat is the definition of crispy potatoes. I would not eat there again considering the price we paid for sub par food.
