The food was acceptable, but nothing how I expected it to be for a restaurant of this nature. I ordered the seared tuna salad with a baby arugula mix, which was supposed to be topped with roasted fennel. The fennel bulb was bland, watery, and tasteless--a sure indication that it was probably just boiled and sliced. There was nothing about it that lead me to believe that it had been roasted in any way. Fortunately, the tuna was delicious, which made up for it. My boyfriend had a simple pasta dish with a tomato-basil sauce, but it was nothing impressive. The quality wasn't really there for this dish--it may have well have been bottled tomato sauce. The service was horrible--our waiter barely spoke to us and rushed us through the ordering process. He plopped menus onto our table without a care, and only asked us how things were when he was conveniently helping the patrons next to us. He never made eye contact and he made it perfectly clear that he didn't care about providing good service--I don't think he even said hello.

We are regulars, sorry, we used to be regulars. We are not coming back. The place is severely understaffed to the point that when the food or wine arrives you are plain anxious. Monday and Tuesdays are 20% off wine bottles, but every single time we had to send the bill back for the discount.
