![]() My companion and I each had a generous cup of lobster bisque with half a pasta entrée – – she had the pasta Brio, the house Primavera version, and I had the spaghetti Bolognese. Within minutes, we had menus in hand and warm sourdough bread on the table with butter to spread. We were seated at a large booth, even though there was only two of us, so as to encourage appropriate distance between guests. As with every time we have visited, we were greeted warmly by the hostess and wait staff. The place is huge, so even with social distancing and table exclusion, there are plenty of places to sit and dine. While I have never purposely gone to this restaurant just to eat aside from a visit to the mall to either shop or walk, it. Most recently taken out of commission by the Covid-19 pandemic, this establishment has re-entered the ranks of decent mall restaurants. Overall, the service and food could be better. When we quickly finished the bread, the server did not ask if we wanted more bread. The bread was delicious, but the server did not notice we did not have bread plates, which we had to ask for. It was a thin, dark brown sauce, but had little marsala flavor. The sauce was not a typical marsala sauce as I have had elsewhere. The chicken in my chicken marsala dish was overdone (which I now see another reviewer reported the same problem). After a reminder, the server brought the caesar salad. ![]() Our meals were served, but the salad did not arrive. My son ordered a caesar salad on the side. We ordered our meals - Chicken Marsala, Chicken Limone and a vodka pasta dish. Not giving booth tables the same linen service was a letdown. While the decor in the restaurant is lovely, our booth table did not have a white tablecloth like most of the tables did. ![]() sensed good customer service is not a priority here. Yet, we waited quite awhile for the hostess to come to the hostess stand and seat us. The restaurant was quite empty on this Sunday evening at 6:30pm Labor Day weekend.
