Wow... when I booked a reservation, and it was wide open that should have been a sign. NEVER again. The restaurant was empty and even though we ordered drinks as soon as the waiter came, we waited at least 15 - 20 minutes for them. Also put in an appetizer with the drinks that NEVER came. Waiter told us everything would be out together as he brought my salad (main meal) but nope... never arrived. My daughter's grilled cheese (despite she ate it and said it was OK) looked disgusting the bread was not toasted (maybe a for a second),not buttered, nothing, and it looked like a big slice of Velveeta... half cooked. I wouldn’t have eaten it. But we were starving and had waited SO long and were trying to make it to our 7 pm show… this was a 5 pm reservation… The food in general left a lot to be desired. I never get to go out so experiences like this are 10X more disappointing... Also, when we gave the waiter our credit card, he disappeared for another 20 minutes, and we had to remind him to bring it back so we could fully check out and exit. Won't return, DO NOT recommend. So bad.

Servers didn’t seem very happy. We waited a long time for our food and for our bill. Our app and meal came at the same time. The Meatball Smash was a hard sausage burger with tomato sauce, didn’t really taste like a meatball. The chicken parm was good. Also note the server was very apologetic and took the meal off our bill because we didn’t enjoy it.

Pizza was excellent, got caught in the pre-concert rush and waited an hour for our food. Good prices and a good meal.

This place sucks! How Jimmy V's family would associate his name with this place is beyond me. I thought it would be of the same quality of the original restaurant in Cary, oh hell no! NY Strip was under cooked and still tough as an old bowling shoe. $21 for a glass of Malbec that costs $10 a bottle at the store? Don't waste your time or money .....

I have a feeling that the team was understaffed tonight but I wanted to give a shout out to those who were working. Y’all were hustling and doing your best on what was probably a busier than normal Monday night.
