    Food here is actually pretty good, service was atrocious. Among the worst I’ve ever seen. We came here for lunch as 4 families with 8 young kids. It took a LONG time for the waiter to properly even take our orders, and he was sighing and rolling his eyes for every item. We got our food extreeemely late (30-40 mins after ordering), despite the restaurant being pretty empty other than our party. I’ll fully own that a large party with a bunch of hyper kids isn’t ideal, but we felt SO poorly treated that it almost would have been better if they just refused to serve us at all. I ordered the vodka pasta with no bacon - when it arrived 40 mins later, it had chicken on top. I told the waiter I was vegetarian and I didn’t order chicken on my pasta. He said “well I think you did”, and then checked his order and realized he was wrong. He grumpily took the plate and stormed back to the kitchen. 45 seconds later, my pasta was back without chicken on top. I asked him if the kitchen had just taken chicken off the top or if they’d given me a fresh plate. He said he’d ask, he never came back with an answer. My son was starving and we had no other food served yet so didn’t have a choice but to just eat. My friend ordered a salad that came with a produce sticker on it. When she asked about it, they took it back and then it came with chicken on top that had red sauce stuck to it - as in, they had taken the chicken off my pasta and put it on her salad. 40 mins after ordering, we still hadn’t gotten the kids’ pastas (plain pasta with butter, nothing crazy). After asking 4 times, I had been told “it was coming in just a minute”. The fifth time I asked the waiter told me we never ordered any kids pasta. After waiting another 15 mins, we finally got kids pasta. We were floored to see that we were charged for the penne pasta with scraped off chicken, messed up salad, and kids pastas that came an hour late. I asked the waiter if he ever got an answer about the pasta and whether it was restaurant policy to charge for items that were messed up. He angrily told me we ordered too many things and then walked away. Will absolutely never come back here.
