Each time, the food was disappointing. We always ordered takeout, and the noodles were consistently stuck together and kind of runny. The gnocchi was especially unpleasant, the sauce tasted sour and off, which completely ruined it. Comparing the sizes of the gnocchi as well, you can go somewhere else and get bigger pieces for the same price or less. While the pricing is pretty standard for similar places, the quality just doesn't justify it. The food simply doesn't taste good. I don't plan on coming back again, especially if I am looking for a genuinely good pasta dish.

Marianacci's. It was a Friday night . I walked into the bar... it was wide open. Was happy for that as I'm by myself and like eating at the bar. I went to sit down and was told it was reserved. Never actually have come across every seat at the bar reserved. But bartender was kind enough to say as long as I'm out by 7:30.. j vouch c take up a spot. So I did. Ordered a wine and the cannelloni. Dear God ... it was absolutely incredible. Honestly the portion... huge. Came with a salad. Perfect. Ordered a half tray to go... as I had a refrigerator in my hotel room. Fyi... enjoyed it the whole weekend! Can't wait to return.

Tonight we wanted to try again but were reminded we haven't been back. We were served steamed clams in an unappetizing bowl full of water, a lobster pappardelle "special" came with lobster water instead of sauce with raw tomatoes advertised as "blistered", and a wedge salad that was a literal half of a head of iceberg lettuce. Why? The service and staff here are still top-notch and deserve better coming from the kitchen. The menu needs an editor.

Early Saturday dinner. Easy off and back onto the highway, even with the current construction. Decor is interesting and fun. Food was quite good with choices varying from inexpensive sandwiches to much more decadent entrees. I opted for a lighter choice. A sandwich with truffle fries. My wife a bit more limited with her gluten free choices and was forced to have filet :-), which she said was perfectly medium rare and well seasoned. Service was friendly and quick but not rushed. We would definitely stop back.

We've been coming to Powerhouse for years, and it's always been one of our go-to spots. Last…read morenight's dinner, though, was on an entirely different level. The new chef is bringing such a fresh, creative energy to the menu. We started with calamari served with a black garlic aioli that was absolutely delicious. For my entrée, I had scallops over creamy polenta with pomegranate seeds, pomegranate molasses, fresh mint, and lemon. The combination was bright, balanced, and incredibly flavorful. It was one of those dishes that makes you stop between bites just to appreciate how well everything works together. A big part of what keeps us coming back is our waitress. We always ask to sit in her section because her service is consistently outstanding. She's warm, attentive without hovering, and her recommendations have never steered us wrong. She clearly knows the menu and genuinely wants guests to have a great experience. It's exciting to see a restaurant we already loved taking chances with fresh, seasonal ingredients and unexpected flavor combinations. We shared our excitement with our waitress, and she and the chef were genuinely thrilled to hear how much we enjoyed everything. Powerhouse has always been a favorite of ours, but this felt like the start of an exciting new chapter. We can't wait to come back and see what the chef creates next.

This is my kid's favorite 'fancy' place, so if it's not hibachi, we're here often; but don't let that fool your tastebuds. Quite possibly the best calamari this area has to offer (more than just breaded and fried, it's a nice shareable dish with roasted plum tomatoes, spinach, shaved parmesan, balsamic reduction and optional garlic aioli) and dare-I-say the ICONIC Orange Cognac salad. We did the Italian four course chef's dinner in February and rented an igloo for a friend's daughter's birthday earlier in the month. Both meals were excellent and we were able to order a variety of things to try since the chef's dinner offered some of their staple cocktails to pair, and the kiddos are adventurous in their food journey as well. Oh, great and friendly service as well; you can really settle in and get comfy here!
