Okay, so I know it's a chain, I've been here before and had a good time. This time we showed up on a Tuesday night, there was a 15 minute wait, but the bar looked empty, so we decided to go there. First off, the bar was full of plates and glasses, etc. nobody was there. So we slowly sat down hoping everyone was gone. After awhile the stuff in front of us was cleared away, but not anything else. After about 15 minutes we finally got to order a drink and an appetizer. The Italian margarita was not bad, the fried lasagna bites were okay, we ate most of them, I wouldn't tell people to go there just for that.
After that we waited some more, the bar was still full of empty plates and glasses, I think it was at least 30 minutes at this point. We finished our drinks, and waited some more. We got the attention of the bartender, and ordered another round of drinks and dinner. This round of drinks were not like the first, basically just margarita mix. Bread finally came out, almost 10 more minutes for the Alfredo sauce. Bar still hasn't been touched, between the two of us and the one person next to us, it seemed strange.
Food finally comes out. The chicken park, my favorite, tasted very peppery, I ate most of it, and saying I've had worse, isn't a compliment. Wife had the 5 cheese ziti. Wow, that was something, I'm not sure what was going on there, on top it looked okay, once you got into it, it was some pink sauce, it looked like ranch and tomato sauce. I couldn't quite identify what flavors were going on, but not good at all.
At this point, 1 1/2 hours after we sat down, a busboy came by me picked up some of the dirty plates next to me, not all of them. We were still looking at our glasses and side plates sitting in front of us as well. The only other person at the bar had a small meal with salad drinks etc, all of his plates were as piled up as ours.
When it was all said and done, we finally got our check, the bar was almost cleaned off, but not completely.
In all fairness, it did seem a little busy, with only one bartender, maybe too much, but in my experience, it shouldn't have been a problem. The food was not what I remember from 2 years ago. The service was friendly, but subpar. At some point we will probably check in again, but it will be awhile.
