   The hostess tried to sit our party at the worse table when all others were free and we had a reservation. It took a while for the service to engage us but once she did she was very nice.

   Jordan server was exuberant but not attentive. Bruschetta Caesar salad pepperoni good. Dined on patio. Odor and noise from construction nearby was unpleasant.

   Not a great experience. Our reservation was at 6p. We were on time, but we were told to wait a few minutes, ok no problem. Then the hostess called our name and said wait a few minutes for our table to be ready, while we’re looking at empty tables. We were not seared till 6:30. Our server Rory Michael, was not invested in any guests at his tables. His whole demeanor was like he didn’t want to be there. There was no eye contact. He asked me and my friend if we would like another cocktail. That was the only time he asked if we wanted anything else. He never asked my husband if he would like another soda. He never asked us if we wanted coffee or dessert. He never came back and asked us how our food was. Basically a robot. We ordered a pizza , pasta primavera and a lasagna. The pizza was excellent. The lasagna was good but not hot. The pasta primavera was embarrassing. It looked like half a serving. And it wasn’t hot either. I was very disappointed by the fixed menu when we arrived,very little to choose from.

   My squid pasta was tasty. But pasta was bit clumpy. Wish there was more to choose from. Service was very friendly. Jordan was the best. Very patient and nice with our autistic son. But apparently short staff since could see bartender doubles as same person checking everyone in.

   First greeting was hostile from hostess. Not welcoming. They changed very shortly after. Next hostess was pleasant. Had to wait 40 minutes for our table note table no 2 inside by outside door constantly left open by staff when 54 degrees. All four tables surrounding constantly had guests get up to close the door. The place was well understaffed. Should have set up bar on patio and focused on indoor guests. We all know it's the holidays and short on staff. But a lot of folks walking up asking just for drinks. Outside bar on patio would be a great solution.

   Food is mediocre and expensive. As I overheard someone say, its better to come for the beauty of the Inn and eat at the Spaghetti Factor that is 2 minutes away. The service was good.

    Went to dinner during the Festival of Lights which they’ve turned into a horrendous circus. That aside, we ordered a lasagna and a chicken pesto, plus two drinks (very weak). 4 items, total $103!!! Plus $30 parking at the mission inn, no validation.the food was just okay. Won’t be back!
