ood:
The food was hearty, and came out relatively fast. I had the Alfonso (fettucine with spinach, mushrooms and asparagus in a creamy sauce) which was rich and flavoursome. Serving was generous. Good selection of cakes. It would have been a nice option to be able to have tap water, as opposed to having to purchase bottled water.
Service:
The person I assume was the manager was extremely rude from the get-go, and at night's end told us to "Hurry Up!" when the next party had arrived early. We were still eating dessert. We were given no forewarning of what time we had to vacate.
Overall:
I will definitely NOT be returning to this establishment. Great location and good food was overturned by the atrocious ending. They've lost this customer (along with the 9 others who were on the table). Also, we were charged $4.50 for 3 plastic containers. Customers should be advised of this beforehand (or at least a note put on the menu). Sneaky way of adding to the bill.
