Stopped by this place because we were in the area and it was Saturday night 8ish pm. Parking lot was almost empty, we were not... sure the place was open. Once we went inside there were maybe 3 or 4 tables seated. I remember loving this place ( the HuebnerOaks location) and figured it can't be that bad. We'll, considering that the place was not busy and it appeared as if they hadadequate staff, the whole experience was subpar. Let's start with good part - $20 bottle of Malbec was pretty good for theprice, caprese salad was really good (it had some arugula on the plate as well), their bread is always amazing...lobster bisquetasted great, but came out luke warm...steak was cooked perfectly but the broccolini was way undercooked. Chicken dish wasliterally thrown together, missing capers and half the mushrooms were still dry as if they just threw them on top at the endwithout sautéing them at all with the rest. Pasta was served dry with whatever little bit of sauce dripped on it when theyplaced it on. The dish tasted ok, but the presentation was terrible. Let the server know; they offered to bring me some caperson the side, I declined because it's not the same as having those sautéing with the rest of the ingredients in the sauce. I wasnot sending the dish back or asking for anything different, just wanted to bring it to their attention. Anyways, poured our ownwine the entire time ( I know this isn't a fine dining place, but if the staff is just standing around, they could at least pourthe wine once in a while). Having worked in restaurant business in the past, I had expected management to stop by after thecomplaint, not to comp anything or give free stuff - it's just good business. I don't know how their business is on other days,but if it's as dead as it was Saturday night, I'd suggest they look at changing some things because their food is not bad, menuhas good options, and the place is nice inside. Staff was nice and friendly, but could be a bit more att Read more

I very much enjoyed my visit. My server Braeden was very attentive and continuously came back to make sure our family was... satisfied. The restaurant had a stellar ambiance that said we are professional but here to have a good time. Smiles all around!I can’t think of one moment I was not totally satisfied. Give that kid a raise, he is the character companies are built on. Read more

Enjoyed a quiet and cozy family dinner. We went on a weekday and were able to be seated right away. Our waitress was polite and... chill. The food was hot when served but it did take a while for our meals even with appetizers. The portion size for the alfredois large and ended up taking a to-go box. They have a bar to sit at, booths, and tables. There is a fireplace in the back thatthey fire up when the weather cools. If you dine in on a Friday or weekend it will be crowded and there is a long wait. They donot take reservations these days. Read more

The food had really gone down hill. 100% Italian I know good Italian and they use to be really good. The first dish was... suppose to be a bolongese sauce.. not even close gross... could not even eat it. So I asked for just ravioli with marinarasauce... they were so under cooked..I went home un satisfied and hungry.... never again. Read more

Artichoke & Spinach Dip was great! The butternut tortellacci was great. The build your own pasta makes a great and tasty dish... to your likings. Restaurant is currently hiring all positions, so the cleanliness could be much better, appetizer plate was notfully cleaned, which that should have been caught when setting up the table. The window blinds are very dusty. Read more

My beautiful Daughter treated me to another marvelous meal recently. ? I have loved every meal Ihave had here and appreciate the attentive and friendly staff. I adore the house olive oil and always add extra to my meal. Mycreate a pasta dish was amazing and I will be sure to have it again! Thank you! Read more
