What is up with the host's lately in restaurants. They have zero personality and really don't set a great first impression. Anyhow lets get to food and service. Carol is great and really overcomes the original impression left by the podium guards. We ordered a tomatoe caprisi appetizer and it was excellent!  A new variation on a classic. Tomatoes are spread out on the plate and has chopped tomaroes spread around. The new addition to this classic is fresh red onion and then a balsamic reduction and fresh basil. I could eat this dish as an main course but I don't have that much restraint. I orderes pasta franco and it was very food. The combination of olives artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoe makes this dish a little salt towards the end but it wasn't unexpected. I would order it again.  Carol Is very attentive but never pushy and you should definitely ask for her. We don't dine here often enough but we will remedy that.
