Went to dinner with others the week of October 20,2025. The service was fantastic but unfortunately the food was very disappointing. Entrees were very bland.

The food is not great . Bland and tasteless ,the pasta was over cooked to mush. Only parts of my food were actually hot . Way over priced for the quality.
The interior is dark and dingy , it really needs a facelift .

Under seasoned. Over cooked. Dated atmosphere and presentation.
Pretty good food at reasonable prices. We had spaghetti and creme brulee for lunch. Came back later for drinks because they appear to have the best fruity drink selection in downtown Jefferson City. All our servers were great and the greeters were very friendly.

The lunch we had today was good. The only reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars is because the menus and decor is a bit shabby. Our server was delightful and the food was hot and tasty. I believe with a little updating this place could return to its former glory.

Wanted a quick, non overwhelming meal, as we were touring, walking all in & around the Capitol. The location of the restaurant was good for that. The lunch choices were affordable, only $16 for a sandwich, plenty of veggie toppings, pickle and fries. The tea, although good, was way over priced at $4. We had not been in there before, so we were quite unaware when we were offered a table or a booth that choosing a booth took you clear to the back of the restaurant where it was very dark, too quiet and smelled odd. We were literally the only ones back there. I even asked if we could move back up front and at that point it seemed not an option. Got some odd complimentary bread. Our waitress was very nice and friendly, the food came promptly. The food was ok. Not some place I would go back to.

Haven’t been to a place more disappointing.. First off stunk like cat pee when entering.. every single thing we ordered was horrible along with the people we went with. Alfredo is FAR from Alfredo, kids burgers were only dog worthy, the kids Mac n cheese was Kraft box, shrimp salad was tasteless and side of pasta was over priced and no taste as well. Server got my drink wrong then corrected. Just overall an F.. coming from a foodie who lives in a town of foods. Don’t waste your time
We had a nice place for an important lunch. The FOH wait staff was extremely attentive. BOH got our food out in impressive time.
Sadly, my ceasar salad was warm (above room temperature), and my spaghetti and meatball lacked flavor and salt (#6 on the lunch menu).
However, I disagree that their portions were small. I am a big eater, and the lunch portions were very filling.
I did not take pictures due to the nature of the lunch. All our plates looked lovely.
I will likley return and try other offerings off their dinner menu.
Still good even under new ownership. My husband got the steak and it wasn't wonderful but still ok. I got the cavatelli which was VERY good. The reason for the 3 stars is not the food but the pricing is ridiculous. My dish was $20 and it had no meat. I knew it didn't have meat but the fact this dish cost probably $5 to make and then you don't even provide a salad with it? Ridiculous.
Salad was more dressing than lettuce and steaks came to the table raw. Food was overall bland.
