    I’ve been here several times and the story is the same. Food is very good but be prepared for slower service. Hopefully, in time they will work out the issues and servers become better trained and more efficient. Despite the service being mediocre it is still a good experience. The prices are reasonable and there is a good wine list available. We’ll go again.

    Hello Donald thank you for your feedback! I looked up your ticket from your recent visit and it looks like it was an hour and a half from start to finish for appetizers and entrees. If you can message me and let me know what about the service was unsatisfactory, I can work with the servers to help them expedite and provide the best experience. Thank you so much!

    Went for New Year’s Eve, and had mixed experience. We were seated right away at our reservation time, but them not waited in for 15-20 minutes. When several finally arrived, she apologized and said she did not get our ticket right away. She served us quickly with our drinks and the getting our order. Next issue was the entree for one of our party. The order was a filet mignon cooked medium, and it came out closer to rare. They took it back and another was brought back and it was worse, basically raw in the middle. They offered to do another one, but our party member was turned off and refused. Other entrees were good. Server was apologetic, but did mention that they had multiple issues with improperly cooked steaks all evening. I think they should have made up for this by comping at least our drinks or appetizers, but only took off the bad entree.

    Thank you for your feedback. I will speak to the server about her timeliness. I actually came to your table to deliver the filet and recall the guest not liking the filet's temperature a second time. I then offered to replace it or to have a different entree. The guest then told me she was turned off and didnt want anything else. I believe I expressed that I did not want her to leave hungry and apologized for the preparation not to her liking. She then noted she already had meatballs and carrots and she didnt want anything else. I offered for her to take home a dessert as well which she declined. I then took the filet off of the check. In this situation we would not offer to comp other food that guests are enjoying. I am very sorry your experience did not meet your expectations

    Very average good. It took a long time to get the food once we ordered. Server was nice. Would likely not come again.

    Value was great, food quality varied from dish to dish - calamari was way too salty and was served with a tartar sauce type of dip (tartar sauce with calamari??) instead of a typical cocktail sauce. Our server stopped by to see how things were when we were nearly thru the calamari - my husband likes things salty, I don’t, so he ate most of it up, I asked if they had any real cocktail sauce and we waited and waited, and pretty much gave up on ever getting it. Our service was not great. We finally did get the cocktail sauce though and it was great, but only had a few pieces of calamari left. It was really a shame that they didn’t serve it with cocktail sauce up front, or that the server didn’t come by earlier… but why not?? Main entrees tasted good but were very rich. We both took home leftovers. My Cacicio e Pepe Ravioli had no flavor of pepper in it however it still tasted good. Ravioli was not cooked all the way through either, so while overall the dish tasted good, it could have been much, much better. Veal Parmesan was very good but side of pasta not good enough to eat or take home in hierarchy of food needs. We didn’t look at menu for desserts. We would probably go back to try different things - my husband and I have different tastes so fortunately for restaurants they don’t get as many dishes sent back as they would if it was me by myself. I don’t like things as salty as my husband does. They make me feel sick. And I’m not sure how the servers expectations have been set up at Wexford Public on how often they need to check in with their customers, but I don’t think we should have been able to come close to finishing the calamari before we were revisited again. Just my two cents worth… otherwise you end up with a situation such as the one we had. We have been testing calamari everywhere we can get it, to compare/contrast. So far of all the places we have tested from Pgh to the East, WP has rec’d our worst review incl. 1 where we didn’t think it WAS calamari!

    Thank you so much Anne as we truly value our guests' feedback. I personally remember you and your husband from last night. I know I spoke to you both when you had your entrees, and nothing was reported to me as negative when I asked how they were tasting. I am saddened that I could not remedy any dissatisfaction with you while you were on site. It would have been my pleasure to correct the dishes for you. We do train our servers to check in on their tables after the first few bites. I will discuss with all staff that even on busy nights they need to check in with every course. If you have a moment and can email me, I would love to invite you back on the house so that we can provide you with an exceptional experience. Thank you, Melanie
