Just driving by on a Wednesday early afternoon, spotted it driving by- a few cars parked out in front gave all the outside signs of a decent Italian restaurant.. so we decided to give it a go…
Walked in not knowing what to expect.. there was a lite menu posted on the wall .. but no signage indicating whether one orders at register or??.. but then I noticed a pile of menus nearby so we grabbed 2 and sat down..
.. thinking a waitress would come by- we pondered our choices - which looked plenty- though for gluten free options- only a small pizza and some salads were available.
After deciding our choices- I had to ask a wandering waitress if we had to order at counter - yes was her only reply.
We placed our orders, and paid with credit card- and they leave a spot for you to leave a tip - my question is for what ?? - the only service is that they bring the food to your table- is that worth even a 10% tip?
I won’t go into what we ordered but it was Very Good… so that made up for the lack of service- what the owner doesn’t realize is that this system is not conducive to ordering either more food or a dessert. It’s a shame because everyone loses- the waitstaff have no incentive to push more product and thus they make little for tips, the owner loses potential larger sales- and the first time customers like ourselves just wants to get out because it’s not a pleasant dining experience!
