Fantastic I like…read moretotally flew by the seat of my pants when I planed the West Virginia portion of our trip. Wheeling seemed to be somewhere in the vicinity of our drive to Morgantown tomorrow so I decided to stay the night. Looking for a place for dinner, I stumbled upon this place on Yelp in wheeling. Little did I know what an iconic place this is. We arrived at 5:15 on a Wednesday evening bc we are getting old. A couple leaving at 5:15 made us see our future. We were fortunately seated immediately. The inside is SO CUTE. I can't get enough of it. It felt like such an authentic Italian experience. Our server was incredible. So nice, personable, helpful. We started with our beverage orders. I went with a little something off their cocktail menu the elderflower martini which, exactly as I expected, was way more like spiked juice than a "martini" but I wouldn't want it any other way. Don't think I wasn't intrigued by the fried cheese but we have been eating a fair amount of that lately so instead of offering an app, I opted for an entree (stuffed rigatoni) and a side of broccoli. GF ordered fettuccine with red clam sauce. She got a house salad and I didn't for some reason. The broccoli was seasoned wonderfully but the texture wasn't as crisp as I would have liked. The rigatoni and the house sauce was ORGASMIC. That sauce is incredible I would gladly buy it by the jar. The rigatoni were al dente pillows of creamy ricotta heaven. Spectacular. GF regarding her red clam sauce pasta, "delicious". We also ordered the tiramisu to go so stay tuned on that.

Words can not express this experience. We were heading home to VA from Cincinnati. Hubby found this…read moreplace on yelp with rave reviews. It was a Monday evening. We arrived and thought maybe we are a little underdressed for this place. So we asked for outside seating. There was a couple with a kiddo out there it was quiet and not as cold as inside. Very nice. Drinks? Asked the waitress "do you have sweet and is it good!?" "Oh yes!" She replied. Me and my grandson agreed on sweetea. She brought it out and it was quite weak and had an odd taste. Yuh, they don't have filtered water. So it's WV chlorinated. We ordered an appetizer and it came quickly. 2 Ribeyes medium and medium rare. And a cod filet. The cod came out 45 min before the steaks. We kept being told by the waitress and owner I'm guessing "just a few more minutes!" An hour after sitting down maybe longer two well don't steaks were sat infront of hubby and grandson. Absolutely not! We were going to suck it up but it wasn't cheap. So the guy said he'd take and replace the steaks. 30 ish min later the steaks came out still overdone. They gave us no discounts brought out an entire other full serving of food. Over 2 1/2 hours total. We were going to serve the overcooked meet to our dogs and they wouldn't even eat the meat or the bone. Apparently this place is popular with the locals but our experience was extremely poor.

I'd recommend it, 100%

The bartender goes and retrieves my burrito from another customer at bar. I see it go by my table on a blue plate back to kitchen. So, here comes my burrito on a blue plate. I ask waitress "Was that same plate that was just put in front of the person at bar?" She answers "yes", without hesitating. Didn't get a discount off of meal or an apology, nothing!!! How many other times had that happened to other customers without knowing? Last time ever in that restaurant.

My Wife and I have been to this location 4 times and it's been a quality meal with quality service…read moreevery time The chips and salsa are good. The salsa itself isn't spicy, and I never mind that as my Wife doesn't like spice at all and I can always add some heat. I've had the tacos and they were slightly above average. The chicken and steak fajitas is what keeps bringing us back. They give pretty sizable portions and the meat is seasoned well. I also think that the protein has been cooked a bit more than most places I've been to and I'm always a fan of some char. I think the food is very good, but the service is what really pushes this place to 5 stars for me. The staff have been exceptionally friendly and attentive on each visit and I rarely have needed to wait long for drink refills. My Wife and I both enjoy drives, but we like this place enough to drive from Pittsburgh. It's worth the drive for us.

Excellent seafood, great quality, appropriate price point. I've been in the food truck business for…read moreover 25 years and have access to wholesalers that are not available to the public, while we don't technically use much seafood in our trucks other than shrimp, I can buy it at wholesale prices for employee parties, etc. My wife is also a professional chef and from an Asian country where the seafood is super fresh and would amaze most Americans. Needless to say we are both somewhat picky when it comes to seafood. I was somewhat skeptical when we approached, however this place was super clean, the products were well sealed, nothing freezer burnt or of low quality. My wife was impressed with the pompano, which we both like. Remember we have access to wholesalers and the quality exceeded what I can get in Columbus, Ohio. The fish were rather large as well. I resisted the urge to splurge, I got some excellent scallops that were on par with wholesale prices. They are basically selling seafood at wholesale prices. We drove home 3 hours with the product in a professional cold bag...the fish was still rock hard. Both me and my wife were impressed with the freezers they were using as they keep everything extremely cold which also preserves product. I know there is wholey's in the strip, but frack that traffic. All in all, when we come through Da Burgh, which is often this will be one of our must stops. Honestly, you're gonna do a disservice to yourself if you don't stop in for some seafood.

Everyone was satisfied about the meal. It was quite pricey, which was expected when we walked in because of the ambiance. So why only 3 stars? I live in Las Vegas and my guy lives in this area (long distance). Well, we were with friends that my guy hadn't spent time with in a while, and this was my first time meeting them. Nice double date! 3 out of 4 of us got multiple drinks and we were enjoying our dinner. We got dessert too. The manager checked on us once. We probably stayed about 20ish minutes after desert while talking and finishing drinks. We got up and used the restroom, and saw the mgr in there. We heard her say that our table "finally decided to leave." Very unprofessional when you are sharing the same restroom as customers to then be talking about them. I'd say the same thing had she not been talking about us but another table. I have 20+ years in the hospitality industry and that rubbed me the wrong way. Food wasn't good enough to come back, so this is a place that relies on ambience and service, which we'd come back for if the service were great...be hospitable. The server was knowledgeable and kind; it's too bad the manager couldn't keep her thoughts about well paying, well tipping customers to an area where customers couldn't overhear.

While visiting the area we made a reservation to eat here on a Saturday night over the Labor Day…read moreweekend. We had a little trouble finding the place, but when we did it is fair to say that the building is huge. I can see why someone may want to host a shower or even a wedding here. Well I made reservations but it wasn't at all necessary. I requested a table outside but I kind of wished I didn't because the outdoor lighting on the upstairs deck was very poor. It was hard to see anything. Also as I stated the outdoor seating is upstairs through some large rooms, sort of a maze to maneuver around. Not to mention we were the only patrons out here. In retrospect they probably could have told us no, but they accommodated my request. We started off with an appetizer of Stratford's Asparagus. It consisted of asparagus spears wrapped in thin tenderloin strips, char-grilled and crusted with a blend of sugars, served with a hollandaise and sweet teriyaki blend. The appetizer was really great, my only complaint was the hollandaise sauce broke and they could have done away with the teriyaki altogether. It gave the sauce a sweet element that I didn't care for, but the asparagus was wonderfully cooked as was the tenderloin. Next we ordered our entrees. I decided on the Chilean Sea Bass grilled. It came with some sautéed vegetables. As we waited for our entrees we enjoyed watching what was left of the sun go down. It was very pretty, but as I remarked rather dark. Also being the only table up here every time our waitress came to check on us it almost always resulted in her having to go back downstairs to bring us something whether a refill or whatnot. She claimed she liked the exercise, but I am sure it annoyed her. Our entrees came out and they looked great. My fish was cooked right on, and the veg and fish were nicely seasoned. I do have to say, for my personal taste they used WAY too much butter. My fish and vegetables were swimming in a pond of butter. I know butter makes things taste better to some, but for me I wouldn't have ordered grilled fish and veggies if I wanted to pack on the calories. Overall though it was very tasty and I would order again in a heartbeat with a special request of no butter.

It took 30-35 minutes to get our food and we were the only table in the restaurant (in hind sight that should have been our first sign) I don't consider myself to be particularly "picky" so when I say this food was completely inedible, please believe that I wouldn't even feed it to my dog- and I really mean that. I wasn't impressed with the service either. In the 35 minutes it took to get our food after ordering, we only saw the server once. After taking one bite of our food, we asked for the check and the server dropped it off and ran. I think she knows, because I'm sure she's seen this a million times before. Still, kind of disgusting service to not ask if everything's okay or if there was anything she could do.

We had gone here last year and loved it... not the case this time! When our party of 5 arrived,…read morethere were 2 or 3 others in the restaurant. The waitress started off by telling us all of the menu items that were not available - no chicken, no coquille, no onion soup, etc. 3 of us ordered steaks. Mine came with smashed potatoes and green beans and they were stone cold. The steak (filet) was nearly raw and was actually cold to touch. So was my daughter's. The waitress took our plates back and the whole plate was heated in a microwave. It was all tasteless and awful!!! My daughter's boyfriend had a New York strip steak that was ok and my daughter had crab cakes that were mediocre, but for a $500 meal, it was disgusting. - Two women came to the restaurant and the hostess was heard telling them that it would be a 40 minute wait because they were short of staff. There were actually more staff than there were customers. Before we left, we were the only ones there. It just seemed like they were anxious to close the restaurant. Extremely disappointing.

The meal was not great at all. No refills on beverages. I had 1 Diet pepsi. Not even a bread basket. Very disappointed.
