Had reservation and waited 15 minutes for table
Waitress made us wait additional 10 minutes
No bread no butter at table / had to ask twice
Asked for extra marinara with my entree
If anything there wasn’t enough let alone extra
Waitress never checked on our table till we were
90 per cent finished so needless to say i didn’t get a chance to ask for additional sauce
