    Food quality was not consistent with past visits. Sauces were intensely spicy and garlicky, two of our party could barely eat their pasta dishes. Roast chicken undercooked and saturated in garlic. Service was very good on a very busy night. Noise level is very high, difficult to have a conversation.

    There were flies - the waiter said they had been around for over a week. The chopped salad wasn't chopped and had burnt bacon crumbs and the blue cheese was mixed with mozzarella. The rigatoni Alla vodka had so much oil from the meat that it made the sauce slimy. The bread was rock hard. The staff constantly reached over us, or bumped things on our tabls with their bodies. I had to duck my head over three times to avoid being hit. I've been going to this restaurant for almost 30 years and am very sad to see it go this way.

    This place has been reliably good place for meeting old friends. Warm atmosphere, enthusiastic service and enjoyable food. The white fish, pork chop, linguini del mar and chicken marsalles were all sound choices. You feel they really do appreciate your business
