In the past, they served fresh, homemade bread to start off your meal, but on this occasion, it tasted store-bought and lacked flavor.

Even though we ordered one of the homemade items that the menu warns will take 45 minutes, it was more than an hour before the food arrived. The dining room was mostly full and it didn't look like anyone had much in the way of food on their tables. Our server came by very infrequently and it appeared that only two servers were handling the entire restaurant. The proprietors are warm and welcoming but the inconsistent service and kitchen delays will keep us from returning very soon.
