We then had a combo appetizer plate and everything was very tasty. I was especially impressed with the cheese sticks. They come with the delicious red sauce. For my entrée I had the ravioli dinner. Hubby had the special which was a scallop pasta. Friend had the Italian trio and she especially loved the lasagna. Her hubby had the fried chicken and said it was very good. The waitress had warned us it might take a little longer to cook because it's cooked fresh. Our other friend had manicotti & his protein choice was salmon. It was a pretty good size piece of salmon. We all had the creamy Parm dressing on our salad salads. It's awesome! The salads aren't real big. The bread that came with them was tasty.

I'm a retired chef and restaurant owner myself so am well aware of importance of temperature. That being said, we all liked the food we ordered but the lack of attention paid to necessity of temperature of food sitting out will keep us from returning.

THE MEATBALL REVIEW…read more I went there on a recent Friday at 5:30 pm. I ordered the baked cavatelli and asked if I could add some meatballs. The waitress said that she would have to ask because they were running low on them. Huh?? It's the start of your weekend at 5:30 in the afternoon and you're already running low on meatballs?? She came back to the table and told me that she could not give me any meatballs because they had to save them in case there were other orders. What?! I looked around for a hidden camera to see if I was being punked. Nope, no camera. This was real life. I mean, I didn't ask for free meatballs, just meatballs. A dinner salad and garlic bread are included when you order cavatelli. The salad comes with red onion, pepperoncini, and croutons. I don't really like red onions or pepperoncini so I asked to have them left off. She shows up with the garlic bread and the salad and tells me, "we're out of croutons". Seriously?!?! The only thing that makes a sad, dinner salad worth eating is the croutons, am I right?! TWO, shattering disappointments all within 10 minutes. My frown kept getting lower and lower. The garlic bread was pretty decent, though. Not decent enough to make up for the lack of meatballs and croutons, but I digress. My three dining companions ordered pizzas and they were all pretty happy. I took a few bites and it wasn't too bad, pretty solid, actually. The end of the story is that the cavatelli was very salty and was nothing special. The non-existent meatballs, I ASSUME, would've helped. By the way, you can order two meatballs " ala carte" (I saw it on the menu later). I wonder if I'd just ordered them "ala carte", would they have been on my plate. I guess we'll never know because you only get one chance to make a first impression and I won't be going back. My suggestion to this business is to make sure you're well-stocked up on meatballs and croutons before you let the meatball/crouton guy have the weekend off. Oh, one more thing. They have cheesecake on the menu. You can order it with caramel, cherries, Oreos or strawberries, except you can't. They're out of strawberries. Ridiculous.

A hungry table of 6 decided not to wait another hour waiting for pizza. What ensued after that was not good customer service. It was unacceptable.

We sat down and waited 10 minutes to get anyone to stop by our table. All the while we watched the servers stop and drop shots off for a big table, watch them consume their shots, cleared their table, then walk away from us again. We left. Never had a server acknowledge us. And it wasn't busy. A similar experience happened last season and we gave them yet another shot.

This is definitely a neighborhood bar - as several other patrons / regulars asked us how we liked our drinks and dinners. Granted, the area looks a little on the rough side as you pull up but the service and food were both great - all handled by one lady behind the bar. On the recommendation of another patron, we started out with Bloody Marys with pickle vodka and I highly recommend them - not too salty or thick. For our meals, my wife ordered the Italian Beef (see picture) and I went with the Chicago Dog (see picture). As always, we each shared tastes and found both dishes to be very good. Our neighbors ordered the Italian Beef with Cheese (see picture) and Chili Dog (see picture) - and both of them thought they tasted great, commenting especially about how good the chili was.

The food selection is typical for a small bar with the exception that it seems to be all handmade and fresh. I've had the patty melt and the Reuben and both were very delicious and the corned beef was authentic and savory. The drinks are metered so if you want extra alcohol you'll pay for it, the beer selection is good and they have a full selection of top shelf liquor as well. They have a little corner for live music performance but sadly no dance floor. I'll definitely go back as I want to try the beer battered fish and eventually the wings.

As I was one of the first people in the restaurant at noon, he offered to put on whatever game I wanted. The cook also came out and made conversation with the clientele. The food was generally good and service was on the spot. On the downside--this place advertises having the Sunday ticket--but only has three TVs that can support it. The other TVs were on whatever other sporting events were on ESPN, FS1, etc. Additionally, they had a Yelp check-in offer that was not honored due to them no longer having the product.
