Botticelli

Oy vay! We got there on a night when i think they didn't expect a soul ....actually there wasn't a person there except staff when we arrived ( to be honest we were going to Ruby Tuesdays but there were closed with water problems and traffic was real bad) but all that is besides the point. We got there.....all 14 of us and we wanted to lime.

After waiting a while for a table we were shown to our seats upstairs but had to be moved because of a leak in the roof. No issues we'll live. The whole place looked like something out of a hotel school text book an old text book at that. We laughed, we joke and tried to find something to eat. But when a restaurant spells Quesadilla wrong on the menu its time to b wary. The font was frustrating, the wording blunt and not very descriptive and the menu just seemed like it was cut and paste from a couple websites.

We settled on a variety of items ranging from Calamari, to Steak. I had the Chicken Pomodoro which was not spelt that way on the menu but that's what our waitress called it (another typo probably). Ppl shot Port (yeah shot tee hee) and sipped on Scotch and reminisced on old times only to realize we were here quite a while and well ahhhhh no food! not even the Apps which were suck eye to fry and kick out in no time. We questioned and waited a while longer and out they came with most of our food (a more glorious site was never seen fus we was hungry by then) they were a few plates short but we were jus happy to see food. Everything was nice, well cooked and presented old school style right down to a sprig of thyme in the middle of every dish.

The food was good I'll give them that but everything else Lord have mercy! needs work. They need to remodel and revamp everything! I attribute the late food to two things #1 they didn't expect guest so everything was neatly put away and #2 old school decided to work on the entire bill and tried to send everything out at the same time. A better approach would have been to ask if that's how we wanted it or prioritize slow cooking stuff on the fire first, quick stuff last but hey we had our meal and made enough raucous in d ppl place. Definitely would not return without a crew it would make for to dead a night!
