Ok place to eat if you are staying at the hotel. The host (a black guy) could've been a bit friendlier.

We ordered an appetizer that read like a charcuterie board. When it came out, it was beef on skewers. When we asked about it, we were told the menu had a typo. We laughed and pointed out that a typo would be a single letter, not entire words. Where are the olives? Where are the cheeses? Where are the meat selections? Where is the jam? We had four people in our party. 2 had beer and 2 asked for Diet Coke. The sodas didn't taste right so we asked if they were Diet Coke. We were told yes and they brought new drinks. The new ones tasted the same. We complained again and were told, “We actually only have Diet Pepsi. Usually, no one can tell.” After the incident with the appetizer, it started to feel like we were being lied to. For entrées, we had a burger that was good but not special, a hot Italian hoagie that was really good, and two pizzas that frankly tasted like frozen pizzas. I will not go back!

Seems like maybe it used to be good. Some dishes inedible, some quite good. Service was just weird. Attentive enough but in the weirdest way. Wine list of about 5 wines included zero Italian wines. I asked for a glass of Chianti and the guy asked me if maybe it goes by another name because he's never heard of it. Poor Jimmy must be turning over in his grave about this restaurant named for him.

Excellent food. Not crowded, even on Sunday at 6 pm. Server could have been faster bringing check, as we had tickets to a performance. But otherwise pleasant. Good came out quickly

Unfortunately for breakfast this was NOT what I was looking for. It was Valentine's Day, so since it was on open table and seemed to be a high quality restaurant otherwise, I assumed they had a good breakfast menu for Valentine's Day. This was truly just a continental breakfast located inside this restaurant. I was soooo disappointed. The service was wonderful, but if you're looking for a decent breakfast/brunch spot, keep looking.

Sherry and Fifi are two of the best servers in the Triangle . The fact that they remembered my husband and I from December and were so attentive and welcoming really made our experience yesterday just so memorable.

TBH, I wish I could give a worse rating. I asked for a medium rare burger but got an unseasoned extra well done burger. No follow-up service. And there’s no excuse for it. It was a slow Wednesday with only about five tables full.

Service started off good but dwindled throughout the experience. Steak was fair and almost had to beg for dessert... was never offered a dessert menu. Restaurant was not overly crowded thus don't think they were waiting on our table. Not one to usually complain but will definitely go elsewhere next time.

We came here for a late dinner and thought that the food passing us looked amazing! My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs and I ordered the Chicken Mushroom Masala. We were both hungry and looking forward to the food, the fries and wings came out first. They both tasted good, but nothing special. Our main course came out and looked really good and I was ready. The table next to us had sent their food back and I thought they were just being picky... I took my first bite and the mushroom sauce was cold. But like I said, I was hungry, our waitress was great and she had just dealt with customers returning food. I moved the sauce off of the chicken and ate the chicken. It was warm and tasted good so I ate the chicken and asparagus. My plate was $24 and very disappointing for that price. I saw the 3.9 rating, but now I understand. They seem pretty hit or mis.

My crew had:Margherita pizza: it was bad, it was just a dough with cheese on it. I almost couldn’t finish it despite of being very hungryBruschetta: they were actually good!Italian salads: goodSoup of the day: disgusting. It was a hummus soup but it looked more like just plain hummus. And the taste was off, like fake hummusI will not come back
