This is a tough review to pen, as our experience overall was not up to par. The restaurant has…read morequite good reviews, but there seems to be a penchant for forgetting about their customers somehow. That's exactly what happened to us this last week.
We got there a bit before 8 a good hour prior to them closing. There were maybe five or six tables at various stages of service. We were quickly seated, given waters and menus, and then forgotten for 20 minutes. We finally asked the other server, who I believe in one of the owners, if we could order.
Our server came over quickly and apologized profusely, but the damage was done. Our martinis came quickly after we asked for them as did our Caesar salad, which initially seemed too garlicky, and was in fact not.
I ordered the Veal Parmesan while the lovely K had the Sun-dried Tomato Fettuccine. It came as advertised, but was not what she was looking for, certainly not the fault of the kitchen. My veal was somehow a bit chewy, and had too much breading and cheese on it. The in-house made pasta (as they all are, kudos for that) was nicely done, but the protein overshadowed the sauce.
The interior is nicely decorated and there is a patio area there for the nice days. The open kitchen is a favourite of ours, but it also exposes any issues that may be going on.
All in all, it was not a good experience for us, but mistakes happen and we would give them a try again, as K had a good initial experience. That's the reason we went there, and one bad evening shouldn't end it all. Nice restaurants are not plentiful in PG, so everyone deserves to drop back and punt very occasionally.
