Environment: Located in the suburbs…read more Cleanliness: 2 of 5 stars; Leadership/Management should ensure the restaurant is cleaned thoroughly at close of business as well as before the start of business each day; I needed to use the restroom at the end of our visit but thought about how the restaurant was presented upon entry and waited until I got home! The Welcome mat and surrounding floor area where we were seated had scattered crumbs/debri all around them! You shouldn't "judge a book by it's cover," so instead of leaving, I sat down and gave the food a try! Maybe it was an off-day, however first impressions are everything to me and the 101 Kitchen didn't come through with me for presentation yesterday! Food: Very tasty and plentiful; yet it was something about that steak that didn't taste quite like steak or maybe it was the fact that the Steak Exquisite Meal came with flank steak which tasted like a cross between sirloin, ribeye and something undecided! The (2) steaks came on a bed of fried potatoes with an egg for about $30! I'm one and done with this meal! My wife had pork belly bowl in which she didn't like; she sent it back to the kitchen and opted into a chicken and blueberry waffle plate for about $20! The chicken was thick and flavorful as well as the delectable Belgian waffle! We each had (1) glass pineapple juice($4/glass)! We spent $65 total with a tip! They have a full-service bar which might get my patronage later on this year because once again, they have exceptional service! Service: We received very prompt fast service and we're served our food/drink within 15-20 minutes of being seated!

I ordered my food and glass of wine and patiently waited. The food came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, it wasn't that good this time. In the past, the chicken parm has been the star of the show. This time, it was disappointing. The breading was half off the chicken. The chicken itself was just okay. The fettucine alfredo seem to be missing some seasonings. The lasagna was good and unfortunately for me, also the smallest portion on the plate. This really should be a 3 star but the friendly service bumped it up to a 3.5-4. I'm hoping it was just an off day and the next time I go, it will be how it was before.

It's the kind of place where the pasta is handmade, the wine pours generously, and the loudest thing in the room is your sigh of satisfaction. Come hungry, leave happy--and maybe a little in love with lasagna." "This isn't your nonna's kitchen--unless your nonna happens to run a top-tier Italian restaurant. From bubbling sauces passed down for generations to pasta so fresh it blushes when you look at it, every bite here is a love letter from Italy. No shortcuts, no pretense--just honest-to-goodness Italian food made the way it was meant to be: by hand, by heart, and with a little bit of sass." After years of exploring the menu,"Pick anything. Seriously. You can't go wrong unless you skip dessert." Speaking of dessert; The cannoli crunches, the espresso kicks--together, they're the unofficial cure for a boring day. Cheers!

My friend and I decided to split two sandwiches so we could each try the Italian and the grilled ham and cheese.

Was given two choices (bottles) of bbq sauce which enhanced the flavor. The plate was served with hush puppies and a pickle salad, both yummy. For my sides I got the Mac & Cheese and collard greens. While the Mac was delicious, the greens needed a little more flavor/soul. The staff, especially the bartenders were very friendly. Very nice atmosphere, I chose to sit at the outside bar since it was a nice day. Thumbs up for the drinks. Would definitely return. I could definitely imagine this place being a vibe on a busy night

Becky (on our receipt at Rebecca) provided us with genuine Southern hospitality during our entire dining experience. She was efficient and friendly with many great suggestions regarding food items. I enjoyed the grilled shrimp along with a loaded baked potato and delicious Caesar Salad. The dressing on the salad had fantastic flavor, and it was not drenched in the dressing as some places tend to do. My husband enjoyed the blackened redfish dish which featured shrimp, lump crab meat, tomatoes, green onions, lemon butter, and red pepper flakes. He exclaimed over the fabulous flavors. We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious and airy yeast rolls (at least I believe they are yeast rolls) that were accompanied by a decadent and addicting honey, cinnamon butter. Becky brought 4 of them for the 2 of us, and I wish she had not because I could not resist having part of a 2nd roll. We will return soon as we look forward to enjoying their lunch/early dining menu that runs only Monday - Friday!

On September 7th about 3:00 PM me and my wife went to saltgrass. They was not busy, most of the…read moretables in the dinning area were empty, booths against walls and half the bar had customers. We received our notice to come and be seated. We walked up to the hostess area where there were two young ladies "standing" one was African American and one Caucasian blond. We stood patiently a few minutes having not being noticed my wife walked up to the hostess's to let them know we received our message to come and be seated...... the young African American lady looked at her chart for what seemed like five minutes, the blond headed hostess was on her phone. She told my wife our waiter would be by shortly. We stood there almost ten minutes waiting while the two young ladies shared a pair of earbuds listening to whatever they were listening too. The manager came to the hostess desk, laughing and joking with the two young ladies. She was dressed in black and she walked back to the kitchen. I started looking around and seen waiters in the booth area just standing talking to each other. I looked at the customers at the bar eating and most glasses were empty. The manager dressed in black came back out to the hostess area where I assumed evening shift was coming in and she hugged all that came in (I have no issues with that). My issue is we were still standing waiting to be seated and another group of three came in and let the hostess's know they received there text to come in and be seated. The manager dressed in black slipped back in the kitchen while the waiters continued to just standing talking in groups. The manager dressed in black came back out, hugged another employee. I tried to get her attention but to no avail. I looked at my wife and said maybe we should just go to the bar?? She said that's fine. We let the hostess's know we were going to the bar and one of them said "Sure, awesome" we went to the bar and sat for fifteen minutes and never seen any waiters. We seen the manager dressed in black pop in and out of the kitchen a couple more times before I asked my wife if she wanted to go somewhere where they want our money?? By this time we both had enough of being ignored, got up, left and went to Texas Roadhouse where we were seated as soon as we walked in the door. We ordered our drinks and food and we were served in record time, steaks cooked perfectly, drinks were great and service was extremely professional and on point. Being in management for 42 years it didn't take me long to see how the poor work ethics at saltgrass fell one hundred percent on management. As for Texas Roadhouse it was very clear as well they were properly trained to do what they were hired to do. I highly doubt we will go back to saltgrass.

It offers breakfast and lunch for the desk jockeys working there, which is convenient. They have your egg-and-meat type sandwiches for breakfast (toast, English muffin, or croissant) and sandwiches and salads for lunch, with a different soup on a rotating basis. They also offer a special every day, which a lot of my coworkers really enjoy. I heard a bunch of them rave about the veggie melt, which I still haven't had a chance to try! Anyway, there are your typical deli sandwiches, plus several mediterranean (vegetarian) options, which is great for me! There are a couple sides, like fruit salad, tabouli, and stuffed grape leaves. It's a pretty good deal, with sandwiches around $5-7. A cup of soup is just a few bucks! They also carry drinks and some snacks, and always have a couple baskets of brownies and bars to satisfy your nagging sweet tooth.

We waited at least twenty minutes to get the check, and another fifteen to get our cards back. They have a lot of to go orders, and they seem to take precedence over the in-house orders.
