    It was Thanksgiving so I’m sure they were short staffed. We sat at bar and they had one bartender handling the entire restaurant. Ordered a pasta chicken dish and they forgot to add the chicken. Chicken Marsala was overcooked. Sitting a the bar was saw many drinks being sent back along with dishes. No fault of bartender, he was given to much to handle. They should limit menu on Thanksgiving and focus on favorite dishes instead of full menu.

    Enjoyed our meals but have never had chicken piccatta without angel head pasta or chicken marsala without mashed potatoes - veggies served were brussel sprouts al dente - my hubby hates. Soup and salad amazing. Shared a piece of carrot cake - generous, yummy portion - 1/2 taken home Love the bread and butter. Service was great!
