No good

The place is decorated nicely although the border along the dropped ceiling reading “olive, garlic, pepperoni,etc.” was cliché and the glaring Pepsi soda machine was distracting. The food would have been fine, if it was served at an Olive Garden. I got the scallops & lobster ravioli in tomato cream sauce and my boyfriend had the Filet Mignon. My scallops were cooked well but flavorless, the ravioli was fine but you couldn’t taste the lobster; in fact, you couldn’t taste anything except the tomato cream sauce which was too thick/heavy. My boyfriend’s steak was overcooked and the barbeque sauce on the bacon too smoky. They said they only had their house wine, which was still $40(more expensive than even nicer restaurants). Our bill was $165 for two people including tip. For that kind of money I want to be blown away by the food. You could get the same food for less than half the cost at a number of chain restaurants including the Olive Garden and that doesn’t speak well for this place

Dishes I tried:

Scallops and Lobster Ravioli

Tomato Cream sauce too rich, like it was made with only tomato paste and not fresh tomatoes
