A Thursday night early, 5:30pm, only a few tables occupied. Only decent service but the kitchen was awful! Appetizers followed IMMEDIATELY by salads. The worst was pasta was delivered to the table when our.party requested shrimp and chicken. Took every bit of 30 minutes, with 3 requests to get a new order with shrimp and chicken. POOR. $125 FOR DINNER FOR 4, NO ALCOHOL, AND REALLY NOT A GOOD START TO THE NIGHT AT ALL!
We tried the Ragu because it was not available the last time we were here. I was disappointed. There was almost no sauce, and so much oil that it was hard to eat. Thankfully the Parmesan cheese made it acceptable. We had the chopped salad as well which was good. The pizza was good as well. Service was impeccable. Our server was attentive

We had an event at the Fred Kavli Theater at 7:30 p.m. and arrived around 6:10 to grab a quick bite before heading to the show.
We were seated immediately and while our server did take care of and got us our food, I feel as if the service could have been much better.
For one, the server initially asked if we wanted bread, and we did request it. The bread never came.
The 2nd thing that irked me a bit was we were in a bit of a time crunch (show starts at 7:30, we were there at 6:10) so we tried placing our entire order up front (appetizers, entrées, & dessert), just to make sure everything came out in a timely manner. Our food ended up coming out around 6:50 and after a majority of us were done eating (but not finished), I asked for the bill, just to save a bit more of time. The bill came out and no dessert was on it and it was already around 7'oclock so I didn't want to ask for it again because I didn't want to be late for the show.
Overall, while you could tell the establishment was somewhat busy, you could tell the server did not want to be there and we felt didn't do their best to take care of us. While I understand this CPK, and not a fine dining establishment, I think it's important to create a receptive experience to make it pleasant for everyone.

My girlfriend and I went for dinner Saturday night and the service was not good from the start. The hostess didn’t even turn around from what she was doing to greet us until we made ourselves known, no one acknowledged us at our table for several minutes, we asked for waters and other drinks and we didn’t get our waters until we asked again, when we finally ordered our food it took so long to be served to us that 2 other families got their food first and they came in after us. My girlfriend ordered soup which she enjoyed and I got the bbq chicken pizza which wasn’t that great. Overall experience could’ve been way better.

It's 6:19 in the afternoon, I've been sitting in this restaurant for half an hour, no one has brought me the menu or taken my order, I think the service is 0/10. I feel discriminated against, I don't know if because I am Latina they haven't paid attention to me, the other people are being treated normally and they see my table as a zero to the left, my, my, bad service.
Horrible service. Our waitress forgot about us and our food. We would never go back

Not sure I'd eat here again, must be under staffed, we where not greeted in the wait line until we started walking in to seat ourselves, They didn't have the beer they advertised at the table, Turkey bree sandwich was hard to eat and not much flavor until I dipped it in the soup, staff was very slow, I did however like the soup.
