I am a bit disappointed that the additional chicken that I requested with my tagliatelle was dry and overcooked. I didn’t eat it and left it on the side of my plate. When the server collected the plate, I politely mentioned that it had been overcooked and perhaps she could pass that onto the kitchen. I didn’t make a fuss nor demand any change. However, I was disappointed that I was still charged the $12 for the added chicken. It would’ve been a small thing to subtract that from my bill, particularly since it was poorly prepared.

Our server was great and she mixed the cocktail I ordered perfectly. On her commendation, I ordered the chicken dish and my wife ordered the salmon. Both were excellent. The caramel desert was fantastic.
