Fabulous food, too busy waitress not too busy to chase us to the door for larger tip $

We thought this was a delightful place. Now a horrible memory never to be visited again! We drove well over 120 miles for a Sunday afternoon meal only to find them closed mid afternoon - our mistake. Planning ahead the next time we spent the night and went for Sunday lunch. Our quest for more of the fantastic food and great service slowly turned into huge disapointment. Once seated, we had to wait quite a while before we could order. Our salad arrived, we waited, our drinks were not refreshed, we waited and finally our dinner arrived. We then waited and waited for our bill. My husband and I always joke about the diminishing tip when the bill does not come in a timely manner. Due to our frustration we left a 10% tip. As my husband's hand touched the door to leave, our waitress came running after us carrying on as though we did not pay for our meal. This being a very crowded area, we felt like we were on public display! Our waitress shamed us and demanded to know why her tip was only 10%. My husband handed her more tip money to hush her up. We were so embarrassed we agreed that it was not a place to visit in the future. Our time was valuable to us as well as the expense of the trip which meant nothing to our waitress. Did she think everyone lives in the neighborhood and has money bulging from their pockets? What a disapointment!

Italian with a twist

by wisholek at Citysearch

Not traditional, but tasty. The decor was cute and intimate in this tucked away restaurant at the front of main street. My wife and I chose this after a change in plans and were plesantly surprised with the choice we made. We arrived early and without a reservation. Without a proper host or hostess, we were worried of what was to come but things got better once we were seated. Our server Richard was pleasant and informative without condescendance. We ordered the endive salad which didn't look like a salad at all, but had a wide variety of flavors and tastes. We split the lasagna, which was not traditional, but was tasty with a dash of red pepper to bring out the flavor and paired nicely with the sausage. For dessert, we had the peanut butter molten chocolate cake which came with a bitter chocolate gelato but when paired with the "lava" seemed just right. We recommend. Kudos to the waterboy whom always refilled our glasses after a few sips.
