We were told we had to leave by a certain time when we arrived because they were overbooked—not our fault or problem. Totally unacceptable. The food was OK and the service wasn’t great. Our waitress didn’t seem to know what anything was and didn’t come by the table much. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco and she just placed it on the table with glasses and left. We weren’t given a wine cooler and she didn’t even open it. Really disappointed especially because we spent ~$200 for 3 adults and a child.

The fish and chips entree is delicious and very tasty. I’ve had twice within the past month. The bambolini was a great choice also. Thanks to Nomad for another great meal.
