Firstly, I would love to have given these guys a great review. The management and staff were all friendly and genuinely nice people. That being said, I would not go back to this restaurant.

The food was ok. Pretty run of the mill. Neither bad nor great.

My partner and I were out for a romantic three course meal, slow, relaxed, taking our time and enjoying each other's company and good food. This was the intention anyway....

What really made for such a disappointing experience was the way we were raced through our meals. Pretty much as soon as the entrees were cleared the mains were placed down, and the same with the desserts. Although by that time we both made sure our main plates weren't cleared for awhile by leaving something on our plates so we had a bit of a break prior to the third course!

The food itself was, like I said, ok. It could have passed for good if we'd had more time to digest! My partner hasn't been able to look at calamari again (his entree), and I doubt he will for at least a few years. Not that it was bad, just that it sat on his stomach poorly and didn't have that digestion time.

So, all in all, a really disappointing experience. I wanted so badly for these guys to deliver, sadly their failing was delivering way wayyyy too fast!

If you are in the area and are thinking of giving them a try I'd suggest a quicker meal or pizza rather than our romantic three courser. Although for diners who are after a quick meal I guess Porcino would fit the bill!

Approximate cost: $20
