My husband and I have been to this restaurant on two other occasions and found the meals to be quite good.  This time, we brought friends that had never been there before and were extremely disappointed.\n  First off, it took forever for a waiter or waitress to come to our table to take a drink order.  Water was never served unless asked for.  Everyone's meal was just mediocre to bland and we all had different entrees.  Before dinner was over, the waiter brought our check.  When we stopped him and asked about having dessert and coffee, he apologized, took away the check and brought over dessert menus.  We had to point out to him that some of us were still eating our entree.  Again he apologized.  We wondered if this was his first job and if so, more training was definitely needed. \nDon't believe we will be returning to this restaurant.  Too many excellent italian restaurants to choose from.
