One of my favorite local spots. Tonight had the seafood ravioli with shrimp…delicious! Our server was Dolly! She made me a good Manhattan and gave me sweet dessert for my birthday. Thanks Dolly for the wonderful service.
Bread was not served until fifteen minutes after we were seated.
The person treating me to the meal order was wrong. He asked for no meat with his pasta. Instead there was scrimp added.
The server never came back to check in between the meal.
This was my choice for a birthday meal. This ended up being a not so pleasant dining experience.
