Review: This place has now closed the doors, so you won't be able to give the place a try any more.
However when it was open they had one heck of an amazing salad, I'm not much of a salad eater but the dressing made me want to come back again just for that salad.

Review: We went there for the Valentine's Day special event for $44 (pre-pay for reservation). It was the biggest waste of money and very upsetting. We had to wait 20 minutes for anyone to greet us and take a drink order, 30 minutes to actually get our drink and place our dinner order. After 2 hours of waiting our dinner arrived, cold, not what we ordered and inedible. The waitress disappeared for another 30 minutes and I had to go to the bar to get our bill, of which they took the liberty of adding 18% gratuity. Upon leaving I spoke with the manager who was nothing less than rude. She got a major attitude with me when I explained the evening and then told me we should come back and eat on the other side of the restaurant next time. NO offer to make the situation right. I called back, she claimed the owner would call me, but I haven't heard from him as of yet, but I am not dropping this. I spoke with other couples who went that night and also were EXTREMELY disappointed and treated the same way.

Review: My wife & I had a $50.00 voucher that we wanted to use & asked the waitress if we could us it for this meal. The answer was yes. After the food was served, the manager came out & told us that they could not honor the voucher on any Friday, Saturday or Sunday. No where on the voucher was this data revealed. This left us in a uncomfortable situation but nevertheless we decided to try them out. The waitress was very apologetic & embarrassed.
The house salad was perfect. The pasta was over cooked & the sauce tasted like Ragu from the grocery shelf. The meatballs had a mealy taste to them.
After graduating from the culinary institute of Pittsburgh, I can honestly say that the food served was below par & they need to revamp the menu or at least, say the pasta/sauce is not their own. We will give the voucher to someone who may appreciate it but after this meal, I can say without hesitation, we will not dine here again.

Review: I contacted this restaurant to discuss a private party for a family birthday. When the number of attendees dropped by 10 people and I called the owner to make sure we could still do business and it would work for them, he did not return my calls or emails for a week, despite the date of the party being only a short time out. He, in fact, never returned my calls and delegated to his manager to send me an email telling me they were cancelling. Very unprofessional.

Review: We went here for New Year's Eve last night and thought that the food was so horrible! Basically inedible! We were there for the New Year's Eve "gourmet buffet" which was so amazingly bad that I will never go back again. The staff were all very friendly, they had cute New Year's Eve hats and party favors and a nice dance floor. The music was average, with pretty lousy acoustics and a horrible Neil Diamond impersonator. The cost was $70.00 per person and drinks were extra. I would not have minded that, except for the fact that the food was just disgusting! They had 2 types of salad dressing to choose from, both very strange syrup type things in plastic squeeze bottles. They served "prime rib" which was really a cheap cut of roast beef that was so tough you could not cut it with a knife or chew it, which made it impossible to eat (not that anyone would want to!) Actually, the only edible item they had was penne rigate, which was served with a thick and way too sweet, tomato sauce, similar to Chef Boyardee, only drier. Oh, and the parmesan cheese was the kind that comes in a green can! The drinks were so bad and watered down that everyone I was with had to send theirs back!

Review: Great place! Seated quickly, pleasant waitress, superb food. Our ceasar salad was prepared at our table...wow!
The only problem I can see is it's easy to miss going 55 mph on the by-pass. So, everyone slow down so you don't miss it.
You will be sorry if you do.
