First time back since COVID. What a huge disappointment in the food taste and quality. The shrimp scampi is not like any shrimp scampi I've ever experienced in New York, Chicago or St Louis. If there was garlic butter sauce on it, I couldn't smell it or taste it... but it was salty, everything was salty. The fried calamari was soft, salty and the temperature was lukewarm at best. I don't know if it's the recipes or the food prep team that happened to be working on a Wednesday. However, the service was excellent and the atmosphere is always great!

We really enjoy our food every time we eat at this Fairview location.Last night, our server was Sherae & she was the absolute best! She greeted us right on time. Refilled our drinks before when they were halfway gone. & our food came out super hot. She was very friendly & smiley. Thanks for another great dinner for our family!

The soup, salad, and breadsticks were absolutely delicious, each bite bursting with flavor. Our server, Elizabeth P., went above and beyond with her friendly and attentive service, enhancing our dining experience significantly. Her warmth and helpfulness truly made our visit memorable.

The food is decent, but u think I enjoyed the salad more than the pasta. Their dressing had a little much pop for me, but wasn't just lettuce and cheese. It took 40 minutes to be seated after being told 10-15. The server was friendly, but never refilled drinks, except for the alcoholic ones of course. Wish they had the bradycardia they had 30 years ago, they're just not so special anymore.

Sherae M absolutely made my day today. We were there as a table of 6 for my birthday dinner. For the first time in 38 years, my dad almost wasn't invited because he's so inappropriate and brings the mood down. He was in his usual form, being extremely rude and Sherae knew exactly what to do. She didn't allow him to bring the mood down and kept us laughing. I wish I had more money to leave her for tip because what she did for my family today was priceless. Aside from her top-notch psychotherapy skills, she was also an amazing server. She kept our drinks filled and checked on us throughout our dinner. Thank you Sherae!!!!
