Review content:
My wife and I visited this small restaurant for Valentine's Day, and felt quite disappointed. The decor screams 1980's, and the floor needs a good mopping--and that was just the first impression. Now typically, I love holes-in-the-wall because frequently the food is fabulous and the character makes them worthy of plenty of repeat business. Unfortunately, this place had neither great food nor character. To clarify, though, the food was NOT BAD, but as many restaurant-goer's out there can attest, the experience of dinner-out is about much more than just taste...for Valentine's Day, they offered a limited menu (4 courses) for a fixed price of $45. What we got was quite possibly the worst service ever, and food that was just 'good.' Dessert was 'included' in the price, but after 2+ hours of sitting at our table and hunting down our waitress for the very last time, we opted to forego the final course, and simply pay our bill and leave. But wait, there's more! We were brought the wrong food items twice, my water glass was left empty for what seemed like an eternity, and we didn't get our wine order until our first course was delivered, almost an hour after we sat down. Are these trifling complaints, you may ask?? Perhaps...perhaps if our meal did not cost $100...or if our waitress actually tried to make eye contact with us and provide some semblance of service at one point during the evening--it almost seemed like she was avoiding us! Maybe our night would have been different if it was not Valentine's Day, and they weren't so 'busy'...hard to say, but I will likely never eat at this restaurant again--which is sad, because really, the food wasn't all that bad (hence, 2 stars instead of 1).
Pros: Food was tasty and authentic
Cons: Service was laughable
