The salad and the soup you can eat is very good. Both dishes are always very good. The Entrée courts are okay, but nothing I personally think is great. The Bartender, Damian, is very nice. A suggestion, always ask that your bread rolls be well made and browned. Before we started this question, they were always less than fully baked. As for me, they were like cheap, subcooked subbrot or like a torpedo-shaped soft white bread. Properly cooked, they are like night and day. Of course, these bread rolls are not worthy of compiling a decent Italian dish if not properly baked. In any case, I will return from time to time to this better than average chain restaurant.

We go here at least once a month. It’s a chain restaurant I know…. but lately every other small place we go to has Consistency problems and is unenjoyable Keep in mind I worked in the restaurant industry for 15 years and I’m VERY hard to please and have an experienced palate.But out of 12 meals here 11 were pleasant and exactly as I would expect them to taste. Consistency is the key !!!!!!
