Really at a cross roads reading the other reviews after our lunch experience here. This vibes were…read morecozy and everyone at the door was welcoming and friendly. And that's where it pretty much ended for me. We were greeted by 2 individuals prior to being sat. Once we were sat I was told I couldn't have any outside drinks. I was carrying a hot tea in a paper cup when we walked in. No one else mentioned this. I later read a posting in the bathroom about outside drinks being prohibited. Seemed like it was mostly to prevent outside alcohol but was a blanket statement for all drinks. I thought it was odd I had to take my hot tea back to my car. Besides that the waitress wasn't super warm and friendly either. If I remember correctly she started with, "what are you drinking?" After I had to walk my tea to our parked vehicle. The food was mid. Very very mid. I got a salmon savory crepe. The salmon was dry, almost white in color and just seemed old. The crepe itself was chewy and hard to cut. My husband's wrap was decent. Kids plates were also decent. I liked that you "created" their plate from 3 categories or options. Overpriced for quality and portion. Once our food arrived there was a swarm of gnats that came with it. Our table was wobbly so cutting any food shook the entire surface. Our toddler caught on to this and wanted to rock the table the whole time. So between holding the table, trying to cut food and swatting gnats away.. it just wasn't a good experience all together. I'm confident there are better options in town for us to try when we return.

Crepes are the star here, so definitely get a crepe! They have sweet crepes and savory crepes, and…read morewe got one of the classic sweet options with Nutella, berries and whipped cream. It was big enough to share with three people! This is the type of restaurant that has silly names for everything on their menu. For example, Crepes of Wrath is a savory crepe with sausage, and Banana-fo-Fana has bananas and granola in it. Usually, I refuse to say these silly names out loud when I order, and instead will just order according to the ingredients. ("Give me the Nutella and berries crepe.") I know. I'm that person! You don't want to take me to a silly-names restaurant, because I will ruin your silly-names experience. In this case, though, the silly names are so pervasive throughout the menu that I was overwhelmed and I just gave up. Sometimes, you just have to grit your teeth and play along. Yes, I did say, "Give me the Last Tango." Before the crepe, though, we got lunch. Later Alligator has a huge sandwich menu. At least two dozen different sandwiches! Then there's wraps, salads, appetizers and a kids' menu. I got the Fowl Play (sigh), which is chicken salad with lettuce and tomato on a croissant. My oldest kid got the Club Car, which included ham, turkey, Swiss cheese and lettuce. In case you were wondering: The silly names extend to the kids menu, too! (Which Wich Tuna Fish is just one example.) My younger kid got the Munchkin (mac and cheese). The kids' mac and cheese here is a mini cup, so just keep that in mind if your child eats a lot. Both of my children eat like birds, so the size of the mac and cheese wasn't a problem for us. This is also the type of restaurant that has interesting things everywhere you look (including the restroom!), so take some time to look around at all of the paraphernalia everywhere.

Great food and service! It was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. The restaurant is small…read morebut cozy with tons of old pictures hung up on the walls giving it that true authentic Italian vibe. Our waitress was friendly and went above and beyond the whole time we were there. They give you bread and butter with your meal and it was really good. I ordered wedding soup and ate every last bite or sip of it. For my entree I went with the classic spaghetti and meatballs and it was delicious. The sauce was perfect and they sell jars of it that you can take home with you. I had a great experience here and will definitely be back.

The restaurant was quite busy, but we were able to dine at the bar. The staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered drinks which were served promptly followed by two entrees. My entree was a chicken parm with pasta. It was cooked to perfection with a sauce that was a bit tart. It also came with a lemon. I had a tiramisu for dessert which was also very tasty. The restaurant is like a time capsule dating to the 1950's. It was somewhat dimly lighted, which provided a very comfortable mod for dining. The meals were not inexpensive, but we felt they were a good value. The bartender was willing to chat as much as a guest desired. There is a room in the back with several slot machines and a dedicated following. The meal was the highlight of the several days we spent in Wheeling. If we ever return, it will be first on our list, but we will make reservations this time.

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.

After an additional 10 minutes we tried to order food and was told that they have run out of food. We were confused as it shows they close at 11 and she said they always close at 10. The website shows 11 and the front desk initially said 11 as well until they shifted on that and said 10. The waitress couldn't be less interested in doing her job. We shouldn't have to wait that long for service and she needed to say at the onset that they close at 10 and they are low on food. Low on food even though she said the main area that holds more food is stocked and they decided not to go grab it. This place sucks. Look elsewhere.

Three people were covering the whole front of the house - tables and bar, food orders and drinks. They were hopping and killing it. We didn't have a long wait for anything to come out to us. Hope to get back again soon!

My husband, baby, and I came in on a Thursday around 1pm. Seemed like the bartender was also serving in multiple rooms. She was friendly, albeit a little slow in service (though she was hustling). We ordered the fried pickles and a ciban sandwich with a side salad ($2 upcharge). The salad came out first and it was quality fresh greens, cheese, tomato, olives, cucumber, and green peppers. Very nice. The fried pickles were good but also came out with a boatload of fried dough pieces on the plate. Not sure they were worth the $10 cost. The cuban sandwich was super yummy and plenty big for 2 people. Prices were a little elevated but it was well worth the stop. Would happily come again!
