It is wonderful:
Yes my mom sister and my neice was there for lunch and it was wonderful. The waiter Tony was great and he helped with ordering and we got a supreme pizza and it was made so wonderful that i havent had a pizza like that since i was a kid and that was so wonderful. The size of the pizza was great and they had a lot of toppings on it and it was the way a pizza should be made these days..Service was the best and the ower came to see how the food was and we were not disappointed at all and if i lived here all the time i sure would be going there everytime i wanted pizza. i feel that it is the best i have ever had anywhere in such a long time...
We felt violated!:
I want to begin my review of this completely awful dining experience with something from my wife, who happens to be one of the sweetest persons on the face of the earth, a 30+ year elementary teacher who rarely has an unkind word for anyone, and always gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. When we got in our car to leave she said she felt "Horrified, embarrassed and violated" by the actions of the owner. To say we'll never come back wouldn't scratch the surface.
My wife and I went here on Thursday evening about 7:30-August 23. After being promptly seated, the service soon became all but non-existent. We waited probably ten minutes or more for our initial drink order was taken. We were served with the garlic knots fairly quickly and they were ok-but certainly not awesome as I had been led to believe. 15-20 minutes later, having uncomfortably watched our waiter and others scurry all around us, the owner noticed we hadn't had our order taken yet and sent a new waitress to our table who immediately took our order. She was very nice and professional. The initially assigned waiter continued walking all around the dining room but seemed not to see us. Hoping to order a glass of wine, I sat with the wine list in my hand for probably fifteen minutes while waiting for our entree's to arrive. No one seemed to notice or care. I never had an opportunity to order any wine. While still waiting for our dinners to arrive, the owner came over and asked us how things were. I described as politely as I could the scene above. This man then proceeded to make matters much worse by launching an extremely loud and arrogant tirade attempting to dismiss our concerns. He told me "In 27 years in the business, I've learned you can't please everyone. You can check my service reviews. I am one of the top restaurants on the East Coast, not just in Virginia. Even in New York and Miami my service is recognized. You know, when I go to a restaurant, I come for the food, not to have conversation with the waiter." We should have left immediately, but honestly, we were shocked. It was embarrassing because other diners were looking over at our table, though I doubt seriously he was embarrassed, as he should have been.
When our food finally arrived, things only got worse. My lasagna was mediocre at best. 4/5th of it was a large chunk of mozzerala. My wife did like the flavor of her calzone, but found a large piece of plastic wrap in the sauce that came with it. This piece of plastic was easily 2" X 4"-no joke. When we brought this to the waiter's attention(he happened to finally be passing our table) he immediately called the owner, who told my wife, again loudly and in a condescending, angry manner, "Oh that is nothing. We just bought a large tub and it is the wrapping from the tub. It is nothing." The plastic wrap is cooked into your supposedly home-made sauce?
We asked for our bill. No offer of any kind of consolation was given-nor did we ask any. The waiter did come and apologize-twice. While we were signing the bill, the owner came by with a plate, slammed quickly on our table with a single word "sweets." I'd love to assume this was his sad attempt at righting his behavior, but I feel certain he had no clue as to his arrogance and rudeness and the sweets were delivered to satisfy our displeasure with the service. Perhaps in New York or Miami patrons are comfortable with this type of attitude, but here in Tidewater it just doesn't fly. The waiter's lack of attention to our table paled in comparison to this owner's arrogance and rudeness. We actually left there feeling badly for the people who have to work with such an arrogant, rude jerk. If he was this awful to us, imagine the plight of the poor working people under his "management." No. We will never, ever go back.
