This place looked really promising. The prices were cheaper than the other restaurants (10-20 dollars) and the seating area was really pretty/fancy-like. Unfortunately, I don't have any additional nice comments about this place.\n\nThe service was mediocre at best. I will give it to them that they were OKAY at refilling water. But our waitress acted like she really couldn't care whether we were having a good time or not. She quickly took our orders, would come by our table and ask how we were in a really apathetic tone, then walk away before we could even answer.\n\nUsually if the service is bad, I don't mind as long as the food tastes okay. Well, it didn't. I ordered the chicken farfalle, which is pretty much cheese topped grilled chicken placed over a bed of pasta in a tomato cream sauce. It came with a soup and a side, so I got the \"red\" clam chowder and the mashed potatoes. I always thought red clam chowder was called \"Manhattan\" but I guess they made something different? The soup was okay, it tasted like tomato chicken soup. My main plate was average tasting at first. The pasta was okay for the first few bites, then I was just tired of it. The sauce was rich in a way that wasn't pleasant for my taste. I will give them props for not overcooking the pasta. As for the chicken, it was unfortunately dry and that ruined it for me.\n\nThe weirdest thing was the mashed potatoes. My date asked me to try them and see if I could taste a certain ingredient. I couldn't put my finger on it, all I could really tell was that the potatoes were more rich than usual. So then he told me what he thought they tasted like... CREAM CHEESE. And I tried it again, and it TOTALLY tasted like cream cheese potatoes! Props to being creative, but honestly, it tasted more like cream cheese with a dash of potatoes versus mashed potatoes with cream cheese. It was weird.\n\nAfter being done with dinner, it took at least 10 minutes to get our check, where she proceeded to put it on the table and say \"have a good night\" and scurry away. I was really confused because didn't we need to pay first? So strange.\n\nAfter this not-so-great meal, I ended up getting a huge stomachache. So I'd have to say that due to poor service and unappetizing food, I will have to recommend that you do not eat at this place. I rarely feel like I waste money when I purchase a meal, but I really felt awful for taking my date on his birthday here and really felt like I wasted my money on this food that didn't taste very good and a restaurant with poor service.
