First visit was a Friday night. We were seated quickly. The dining room is very comfortable and the host was polite and attentive. We ordered the tempura shrimp appetizer which was very tasty. Jumbo shrimp perfectly cooked with roumalade and ranch dipping sauces. The batter was slightly oily and a few shrimps breading was coming off. My entrée was the Bucatini with pesto sauce,spinach, meatballs and parmesan. I found this dish dry and flavorless. There was no spinach and the pesto was bland and not much of it on the pasta. Bucatini was perfectly cooked though. My husband had chicken parmesan. It was not good. The pasta was over cooked, sauce bland. For dessert we ordered the cookie skillet a la mode. While the ice-cream was creamy and good, the cookie was stuck to the cast iron skillet so we had to scrape it off the bottom. Our server was also the bartender so he was all over the place. He was as attentive as he could be. We asked 3 staff for small plates and didn't get them until the appetizer was gone. Asked for water multiple times. The manager was in the dining room talking to tables but never stopped at our table. It seems everyone knew eachother and was a popular place for locals. We will try it once more and maybe order differently.
