To summarize: upscale menu, cheesy 80's music, TV in the bar, hit or miss food, friendly but terrible service = doesn't work.\n\nThere were four of us, and we all ordered a salad course and an entree.  After we ordered the chef came out (he was very nice) and said: \"I don't feel good about serving you the romain lettuce.  Can I use iceberg for the Caesar salad instead? And also, we don't have any fresh produce or potatoes today, so I'd be happy to make you something else instead\"  We all replied... ahhhhh... Okay? Sure? Make us whatever is good?  He was very polite and nice about it, but honestly, no produce or vegetables?  He said his truck didn't come in, which I understand happens from time to time, but if you're about to start dinner service and you don't have lettuce or potatoes, you go to the store down the street and you buy some lettuce and potatoes.  \n\nSo that happened, but I kept and open mind.  Then our salads came out--the iceberg lettuce caesar salads (with no cheese, no anchovies, no cracked pepper) were horrible.  The wedge salad came with no dressing, (oops) I tasted it and thought, i could have made a better salad at my College cafeteria.  \n\nSo I thought, whatever, the salads suck, you're out of lettuce, who cares, hopefully the food will be good.  1 out of 4.  The Veal scallopini was delicious.  It was rich, cooked nicely and tasted great with the mushrooms.  The rest of the entrees were a huge bummer.  Two steaks were overcooked, but weren't horrible.  The mahi mahi was burnt and overcooked, and the mashed potatoes had the consistency of tooth paste and tasted like they came from a box.  \n\nAll in all, I felt like I was in an episode of Kitchen nightmares.  I feel like the chef had a lot of heart, and the server was really nice and friendly, but you can't run a restaurant on sunshine and happy thoughts alone.  You need things like fresh, well cooked food, good service, and ambiance.  Maybe my expectations were just too high for the little restaurant?  I don't know, but fundamentally, I think they are seriously lacking on all the things that make a restaurant good.
