This restaurant is a new one in a spot close to our home. We decided to try it out. We were promptly greeted and seated. We arrived at 4 pm (when they opened). The hostess said we could pick our table. Our waiter Tyler was professional, friendly, and helpful. He brought out house bread and provided olive oil and grated parmesan cheese. I had to request balsamic vinegar.
We ordered red sangria ($12), which was delicious. We started with bruschetta ($13) and wedge salad ($13). For our meal we ordered Chicken Picata ($24) and Ravioli Al Italia w Sausage ($25).
Bruschetta looked appetizing when it arrived. When I think of bruschetta, I want seasoned tomatoes, basil, great bread and any other twist, BUT that's the basics. It was good (7), but there was no basil! There were green leaves on the plate and dish, but it turned out to be spinach, huh? The seasoned tomatoes needed a little oomph. I got that when I put some of my balsamic vinegar and oil on the bruschetta. That made the taste very good (9)!
Hubby liked the wedge salad. He said it didn't have the traditional blue cheese dressing, but an oil and vinegar one. It did have blue cheese though. He gave it an 8 rating.
Chicken piccata arrived. Hubby said the sauce was really good, but the chicken was really overcooked (7.5). His side of penne pasta was standard, nothing special (6). My sausage ravioli dish was delicious. The flavor and seasoning was spot on. I think this was the best dish we had and I would order it again (8.5).
After finishing our entrees our waiter, Tyler asked if we would like dessert. We were full but said we would like to see the menu. He said there was no menu. We had to get up and walk to a back of the restaurant where these was a little kiosk-like setup by the bar where you could order deserts like cake, cheesecake, and ice cream. We ordered cheesecake and red velvet cake to go. I don't even know how much the dessert was because I saw no pricing.
BIG PROBLEM I SEE!
I don't know how this getting up and walking to a kiosk is supposed to work when they have a full house. The place is not that big. Are people going to have to wait in line, in a "high-cost" restaurant, like they are ordering dessert at a Furr's cafeteria? What if there is someone with a disability who does not easily get up, or in a wheelchair, how is that going to work? They need to figure that out AND FAST!
The next day when I went to eat my cake, imagine my disappointment that my red velvet cake ($12), although pretty, was just a sliver of a slice. Boy, was I pissed. Next time we'll stop at a bakery and get our desserts! Anyway, the cake was okay (6.5), nothing special. Hubby liked his Turtle cheesecake ($14) he rated it an 8.
