   Fantastic food. Huge portions. Very nice restaurant and nice wait staff. They were not super busy or in need of the table, but we must have been asked 10 times by at least five different people if we wanted a container for leftovers, so it felt like they were trying to get rid of us.

   The food was very good with good size portions. While we liked our waiter, the service was incredibly slow. We were there over 3 hours with a young child. We were comped drinks without asking so we appreciated that. And the noise level was super loud. It was hard to have a conversation across the table and we were sitting in back corner.

   Our server was inattentive. Food and drinks took a while to order. We were never asked how things were once we received our food. The white sangria was delicious as was the wedge salad. We ordered two specials, both with fresh tuna, the one with the escarole was very good, the one with the shrimp (which were very tiny shrimp by the way) was terrible! The dish was described as tuna and shrimp over capellini with roasted garlic and lemon and caper sauce, sadly it had absolutely NO FLAVOR and the pasta was overcooked. We waited and waited for our server to get back to us as we had been done eating for quite some time. He finally came to us after having to ask for him, and asked how my dish was and I told him it was disappointing. He was apologetic and he did take the dish off our bill, but due to the lack of service combined with the tasteless meal I would not recommend this restaurant; at this price point it is definitely not what you would expect.
