  DINERS BEWARE! The food and service has drastically declined
  at this establishment. Last night we were eager to enjoy the
  Seafood Risotto and the Pork Loin Dish that have stimulated so much
  notoriety. Our party of three arrived promptly at 7:00, greeted
  by the friendly hostess and taken to our well-groomed table.
  We ordered our drinks, which promptly arrived and were
  quite lovely and thirst quenching. Upon ordering the famous
  pork dish from the menu, I was told by the waitress that they had substituted
  a pork chop, but she assured me it was just as delicious. My
  two companions ordered the Seafood Risotto, and as accompaniments,
  added the sausage pizza and the simple salad. The waiter brought out
  bread and we had to ask for butter or oil, which was brought
  promptly. Our waitress brought BOTH appetizer
  and salad at the same time. The salad was almost void of
  dressing and there was very little sausage on the pizza. Our
  second round of drinks arrived and good thing…..as unknowingly
  we had a very long wait ahead of us. We then watched three tables be seated, eat
  and leave and our food still hadn’t been served. We asked
  our bus boy to find the waitress who had never come back
  to the table to check on us. Well over an hour after we ordered
  dinner, our waitress arrives with ONE plate of the risotto.
  A few minutes later she comes back with ONE plate containing
  my 3 inch thick pork chop and shortly after that she returns
  with the last risotto dinner. We began eating and my daughter
  discovered her dinner was very cold but served on a heated plate.
  I didn’t want to bother our absent waitress, but I definitely needed
  a sharper knife to cut through the thick, tough and dry pork chop. In
  the end the waitress did not charge us for cold risotto dinner,
  but she never apologized. The hero in all this is the bus boy,
  who faithfully refilled our water glasses and bread. Still hungry
  after the meager portions we devoured the yummy cotton candy
  that comes with every meal. Walking out the door at
  9:15 we wanted to warn the late comers, just arriving, to
  stick with the drinks the cotton candy. Better yet, we should have said,
  “Come back on a night when the manager/owner is here."
  Because if a capable manager had been present he would have touched our table.
  PS We never saw the complimentary amuse bouche or
  any take home treat!
