    Our reservation was at 7pm, we didn’t get seated until 7:40 and then sat for 15 minutes before anyone came over. Finally, after asking two other servers to send someone over ours finally came. After ordering she lost her notepad and 20 minutes later came back and asked us for our order again so she could put it in… Finally after an hour and 30 minutes our entrees came - my lasagne was so overcooked you could mash it like mashed potatoes, the noodles were essentially mush and it was not edible. At no point in all of this did we see a manager. No one asked how things were, comped a drink or an app… there were multiple opportunities to salvage the experience but no one tried. We ultimately paid $165 + tip for two meatballs, a side salad, bowl of soup, one entree and two drinks… It was hands down the most disorganized, poor excuse for a dinner I’ve been to in years both in service and in food quality.

    We had nice time. But we were expecting better service and food. It is Italian restaurant and we found the pasta was over cooked and after mixing with sauce it become big lump of pasta. The guy who was picking up the used plate was in such a hurry that he was dropping cutlery on us and he just didn’t feel like it was a mistake. Other food was good. Overall experience was good.

    Lelli’s never disappoints. Food is always spectacular, especially the tenderloin. We always have a great experience there!

    Not a good experience. With young kids waited two hours for our dinner. When I asked to speak to a manager they said shes busy and offered a dish off the bill. Never do I want free food and found it insulting that they think taking $20 off my meal will make my time is more valuable than a dollar amount

    Love the Sinatra-era feel of this place. Steaks and Italian food are terrific. The staff is great. We especially appreciated Latosha’s manner of service; spot-on. Will specifically ask for her section next time!
