    Small mostaccioli
    Amy A.

    I ordered online for pick up early in a Saturday night. The online ordering system was amazing, easy and let me pay at the store instead of making me remember a login and entering credit card information. I appreciate this. My order was ready in 20 minutes and piping hot. I ordered 4 small meals so my family could try a bit of everything and an order of cheese bread and cinnamon bread. The food was good. Not amazing but good food. Even the small portion was plenty for one person. I ordered a chicken fettuccine, meal lasagna, pasta mostoccioli and spaghetti with meat sauce. My personal favorite was the lasagna and my husband the chicken fettuccine. I wasn't a huge fan of the cinnamon bread but it was ok. My 7 year old liked it. The value was there. 4 small dinners, cheese bread and cinnamon bread with a 15% tip $30. Can't eat most fast food for that. The service was great. Food was ready when I got there. The dining area was busy already for 5:20 on a Saturday night. The dining area was clean, new and had an Italian type atmosphere. We will be back.

    Tony's was such a fun stop for our group while visiting town! Our large group got seated at what we…read morehappily deemed the "King Arthur table". It made our group's night out on the town even more special. The service was amazing! Everyone was helpful and kind, but even more important--they were patient with our big group. When realized they had run out of an item, they were quick to accommodate and remedy the situation. And finally...the pizza!!! We were pleasantly surprised with just how amazing the restaurant pizza was. We ordered the house pizza, chicken Alfredo, Thai chicken, and a GF barbecue pizza. It was all delicious! The Alfredo is probably the best Alfredo I've had and was a nice touch in the Thai pizza as well. It seemed to be our groups favorite but only just. It was hard to decide with how much we loved each unique pie. Even the gluten free pizza was yummy! It was difficult to tell the crust was GF with how good it was. (Our GF can confirm from next day testament that it was indeed GF, worry not!) We also ordered the cheesy garlic bread and the nachos as appetizers, bother were equally delicious but unfortunately unpictured... All around a great experience. The only reason for 4/5 stars is the wait time. We waited a long time to finally order. Once we did, we only waited about 10-15 minutes for our food.

    We stopped by after the wedding of two friends of ours for the reception ( congratulations to Mike…read moreand Tina!). I can't remember if I'd ever been to Tony's before...if I had it's been years ago. It's definitely worth coming back to now that we've been here. The thin crust pizzas were very good and the sauce in particular was very good! Very historical building with old brick and wood decor makes for a great dining experience...the staff was friendly and accommodating as well.

    My wife and I are visiting Waterloo from the Quad-Cities, so we are very familiar with Olive…read moreGarden. We were very unhappy with our server, Ben, who had shoulder-length hair, all the way around. Everytime he was at our table he took his hand and put it in hair to get it out of his eyes. He did this frequently. He also let it hang when he bent over to put cheese on our salad or soup. We were lucky no hair got in our food. I am a former fast food restaurant manager, so I know about food service sanitation. He should've had his hair tied back and out of face so he wouldn't have to put his hands in his hair then handle our food. I brought this to the attention of the manager, who should've been aware of this and trained Ben not to do this. I'd be wary about going to this Olive Garden with their food sanitation practices.

    Started off with horrible service. When we walked in the hostess had been in the restroom. A lady…read moreup front says to us "there's a small wait while we clean the tables" then walks away to never be seen again. Hostess comes out, other ladies up front doing end of night prep. After about 10 minutes of waiting a family walks in and the hostess seats them immediately (no reservation). We ask why we are still sitting there and the hostess says "I'm so sorry no one told me you were waiting nor wrote you down".... Thankfully the service got much better after that. Our server was very pleasant and apologized again for the rough start. A manager came over to get details of our troubles and apologized. Breadsticks and 5 cheese dipping sauce was good. The soup was yummy. The main dish of manicotti and three meat was amazingly good. One odd thing was my raspberry lemonade came out warm lol, the pitcher and glass must have just came from dishwasher because it had ice, it was just very warm to drink. We shall return for more Italian goodies.

    We were a group of 14 who recently ate at the Brown Bottle. The food was excellent. The ambiance…read moreenjoyable. The service - it could be better. They were busy so that was probably part of it. Let's start with the ambiance. I'm not sure what the building was used for originally. Maybe a hotel? But it is very big, historic, multiple rooms, just an interesting and cool space. All of the food was delicious. For appetizers we had the sauteed mushrooms, meatballs, salsiccia, and garlic bread. You'll want extra garlic bread to soak up the sauces in all of these dishes. Generous portions, delicious flavors, all winners. Our group had many different entrees, and everyone was pleased. Portions were large, so most people ended up with boxes to take home leftovers. We were too full for dessert. My only reservation about Brown Bottle was the service. They were busy. But the servers just seemed inexperienced. They brought all the appetizers but didn't notice we had no plates, so we had to go and ask for those. They also never refilled our waters. Pretty much every glass was empty. When we asked for additional drinks, she brought those, but we never saw any water pitchers, and she only refilled the specific people who asked for additional water. That just seems like something an experience server will notice. Nevertheless, I'd definitely go back. All the dishes our group tried were delicious!

She brought our drinks and kept everything straight. We had a variety of food and everything was delicious. I had chicken Dijon with twice baked potato, and it was yummy. I was so full from the delicious salad with creamy garlic dressing and a piece of bread that I could hardly eat it. It will be great leftovers. Husband had prime rib with twice baked potatoes and he loved it. Others had the salmon which was good with the vegetable mix and another had Greek shrimp. A friend had the prosciutto with fresh mushrooms and it was huge! We all tasted it and ended up taking half of it home. Manicotti was tasty as was the orange roughy. Good food, great service, & a great atmosphere!
