点评:Made a 5:30 reservation for a Friday evening, for 2 people. We were seated right away. It's a small place and there appeared to be only 2 tables for 2; both poorly located.
I was told (when I made the reservation) to mention that it was my first time dining there. Since the owner was seating us, he saw our displeasure with the 2 tables available to us and offered us a booth. That was very nice of him. (It wasn't that crowded, and other booths/tables never filled up near us). Unfortunately, the booth seat was so low, that the table came up to my upper chest. I had to roll my coat up into a ball and sit on it to get some height.
I didn't order any appetizer, however, my spouse chose the lentil soup.
He prefers a thick soup, so this was not to his liking. The owner brought us a small plate of olives and beans. I don't know if that comes on a regular basis, or because it was our first visit, but that was a nice touch. The meals came with a small side salad and that was nice to have. I ordered the penne arrabiata. It was tasty, but very "soupy". Hubby ordered the braised short ribs. It came with a side order of mashed potatoes. He said that the ribs were tough and tasteless and would not order that again, if we were to return. To complete our first experience, we ordered dessert. The menu had lots of choices, but very pricey. We'll probably try it again, and see if things are more agreeable to us.
翻译:周五晚上5:30预订了两个人的位子。我们很快就被安排入座了。这家店很小,似乎只有两张双人桌,而且位置都不太好。
预订的时候,服务员告诉我这是我第一次来这家餐厅。因为是老板亲自安排的,他看出我们对仅有的两张桌子不太满意,就给我们安排了一个卡座。他真是太好了。(当时餐厅并不拥挤,我们附近的卡座和桌子都没坐满。)可惜的是,卡座的座位太低了,桌子只到我的胸口。我不得不把外套卷成一团坐在上面才能坐高一点。
我没有点开胃菜,但我爱人点了扁豆汤。
他喜欢浓稠的汤,所以这道汤他不太喜欢。老板给我们端来了一小碟橄榄和豆子。我不知道这是常规服务还是因为我们是第一次来,但这确实很贴心。每份餐点都配有一小份沙拉,这很不错。我点了辣味通心粉,味道不错,但汤汁太多了。老公点了红烧牛肋骨,配菜是土豆泥。他说牛肋骨又老又没味道,如果下次再来,他肯定不会再点这道菜了。为了给这次用餐体验画上圆满的句号,我们还点了甜点。菜单上的选择很多,但价格偏高。我们可能还会再来,看看下次会不会更满意。
