It's not as good as people say it is! The pasta dishes look huge because it's all pasta & no fish

WORST DINING EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES!! Short version: No parking, abysmally long wait times, served ALREADY CHEWED FOOD, poor management. My husband and I made a dinner reservation for 7pm on a Friday night. The parking lot was completely full so we ended up having to park a 1/2 mile away and walking to the restaurant (which was fine - we get that it could be extra busy on a Friday night). We had called the restaurant when we couldn't find parking and let them know that we were running a few minutes behind schedule. They said that it would be fine. Spoiler alert: It wasn't. Once inside we waited a total of 45 minutes to be seated. During that time, the hostess told us two separate times that a table was ready for us only to turn right around and tell us "Sorry, you'll have to wait even longer." When we FINALLY got seated, our waiter didn't come to the table for another 20 minutes. No checking in, no water, no bread, just more waiting for us. After that time, someone came to the table with bread and a bowl of olives. It was only just a few minutes later that we realized that the bowl of olives that they had given us had an ALREADY EATEN OLIVE PIT IN IT!! UGH!! 🤢 On top of that, the bread that they had given us was completely stale and there was no butter or olive oil anywhere in sight. We sent it all back and were promised new bread and olives - they never came. We get that restaurant's get busy - I, myself, have waited tables for 8+ years and have NEVER encountered such an overall awful experience. It got to the point where I asked to speak to the manager because things were getting ludicrous! I ended up having to ask 3 separate times to talk to him and when he finally showed up, he looked in our direction, made eye contact and then turned around and walked away - never to return again. It was completely disrespectful and total a slap in the face!! All in all, we were there for more than 1 hour and 40 minutes and never got a bite to eat. We were very excited to try this new restaurant so we realllly tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but the experience just kept getting worse and worse. The biggest bummer of it all is that this was supposed to be a rare date night for us. We have a little one at home so we had to hire a sitter only to come home two hours later still hungry"¦we ended up ordering takeout. For all the parents of littles out there - GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! This joint is really not worth your time or effort!!
