Pros: Very friendly staff, door person on duty greeting customers, nice backgroud music
Cons: Somewhat cozy atmosphere, jazzy but no pizzaz--bland. No creativity to appearance of tables at all.

My guest had a caesar salad as an app.; dressing very bland and thin, didn't detect bacon bits at all. As a main dish, baked manacotti stuffed with 'ground' chicken with a blend of too much spices. There were two of them in a lasagna dish covered with cheese. Poor presentation as well. My dish was fettucini alfredo. Noodles 'way' overcooked; some of the noodles were even stuck together which I put on the side of my plate. Again the sauce was too thin, bland tasting and no body/richness.

Home made bread was brought to the table with a 'spicy' tomato sauce for dipping, a nice gesture to start the meal anyways.

Service was not the greatest. The writer of this review would not return to this establishment.
