It is understood that many restaurants are hiring servers to fill slots and service may not always be up to par these days. Saw it first hand tonight which was very disappointing having invited first time guests. Our server was pretty rough and lack that hospitality warmth. We were only a 4 top and the server had us passing the entrees to each other. The entrees that were placed hit the table hard and was not even directly in front of the guest. I was attempting to chuckle it off but my first time guests saw that the server was not as good as they have had at other restaurants. Refills on the bread was not offered. Had to ask several times for drink refills. At one point the bartender was blamed even though it was not an alcohol beverage. I feel that my guests will not be back and when return I will ask for a different server so we can have a much nicer evening. The food was as good as ever. It is just to bad the evening was not up to Carmelo's standards.
We were pretty pleased with this meal, though it definitely could have been better. We picked up two chicken and artichoke soups, a lasagna and chicken Alfredo, with some garlic bread. The soup was undoubtedly our favorite, the bread was good but basic. The lasagna was more like a beef meatloaf with one lasagna noodle betwixt a mound of ricotta cheese and sauce. It tasted okay. The Alfredo was in the same okay boat- bland sauce (ordered extra sauce to avoid any Saharan mouth feels) but I understand why they 'd make it as such. A little Parmesan on top would have helped. Chicken didn 't have much flavor, seemed like one of those pre-made breasts with the dyed grill marks on it. It did satisfy a craving, though I feel like the prices are a bit high for what it is.
Up front this place looks like an average bar. But when you’re moved to the back for dining, it has an entirely different atmosphere. The back bar is nice and the dining area is spacious enough where you’re not on top of another table. I had the fish fry which was amazing with the roasted potatoes.
We 've been to many Italian restaurants over the years, and this is the best lasagna I 've ever had. Meaty is just the beginning, the sauce tasted like it had been well seasoned and cooked for 8 hours. It may just be a little local place attached to a golf course, with dated decor, but I would jump at the chance to drive 3 hours one way, just to have another slab of this lasagna. Outstanding!
I had higher hopes for this place. I’m not picky at all but it didn’t live up to any sort of hype. Wife and I both ordered different kinds of pasta and both came out with next to no sauce. Just noodles.... very confusing. In-laws got steaks that were “ok”. Definitely disappointed with the visit.
