Customer Reviews
Went there last night, we have been there 2 or 3 times now. My wife got the rotisserie chicken and I got the oyster stew and mussels fra diavolo. The former was good and I helped my wife eat half of it, thankfully (she's a light eater). But I wanted to share with you the mussels fra diavolo I got with you. It came with about 12 mussels in the shell, some were splintered, and after picking them out of the shells this is what I wound up with for $17. I mean, how much does linguini cost? I pointed this out to the waitress and she was polite. Even took a little bit off the bill. But the manager never came by. I put one shell back in for depth of the pic. I have had bigger side orders of spaghetti and this entree.
Food was decent, good but nothing to rave about. A bit overpriced on most items, but some were fair. The shining star for us was our server Dylan. He was very attentive and right on the ball. Great job Dylan! As far as going back, I would be more likely to stop in for a beer and an appetizer than to go for a full meal. We went at 6 pm on Friday night and the place was pretty dead. That alone speaks volumes...
Service was great. Shrimp Bisque was outstanding! Was a bit disappointed in scallops. Description said “lightly” breaded. Was a lot breaded. Took away from flavor of scallop. I took off the crust & enjoyed the scallop naked. Will go again.
Without a doubt, one of the worst (if not THE worst) experiences I've had at a restaurant! The place being near empty on a Friday night should have been a huge red flag but we persisted. The food was terrible and management should be embarrassed. The only bright spot was our server Anna. Very nice and was on top of everything. Regarding the food: bread for the table is heavily garliced biscuits. Poor choice since they were very crumbly and fell apart while trying to butter them. Appetizers were shrimp bisque and stuffed mushrooms. The bisque was very thin and tasteless and the mushrooms were tough and tasteless. Entrees were stuffed shrimp and clams Fra Diavolo. The shrimp was overcooked and the Diavolo had chunks of broken clam shells mixed in. On top of all this, there was a table next t
If Gordon Ramsay had eating here. He would have cursed out the chef. I had the steamed mussels and it had no taste at all. Not sure why it wasn't seasoned well, but you couldn't not taste any garlic, white wine, pepper nor parsley in the dish. My wife had the fried shrimp and french fries. The shrimp and french fries looked greasy and as if they came out of a box. I wouldn't recommend restaurant to my worst enemy.
