We then discovered that they were only offering a special Valentine's Day menu, so we selected our meals and placed our orders. After that, we waited an additional 30-45 minutes for our salads to arrive. The salads were mediocre and didn't taste like they had any Caesar dressing, but we were so hungry that we ate most of it anyway. Next, we waited another 30-45 minutes for our appetizers to come out. We had ordered sausage and peppers as well as risotto balls. The risotto balls eventually arrived, but they mistakenly also brought us cheesesteak egg rolls. We informed the staff about the mix-up and requested our sausage and peppers. After another lengthy wait of 30 minutes, our entrées finally arrived. During this wait, one staff member mentioned that our waitress had left and that there was only one person in the kitchen. It turned out the owner hadn’t adequately prepared for the evening. When our entrées arrived, we were somewhat satisfied; the salmon was quite good, although the potatoes were extremely dry, so I pushed those aside. My fiancé ordered the chicken San Remo and enjoyed it for the most part. However, we continued to wait for dessert for another 30 minutes—and we still hadn't received our sausage and pepper appetizer. During this time, we watched the manager offer a family their meal for free because they had been waiting for 2.5 hours without receiving their entrées. Frustrated, my fiancé walked to the front to ask for the check since we didn’t want to wait any longer. We thanked a few staff members who had stepped in to assist. Ultimately, we will never return to this restaurant again. It was a very disappointing experience.

Our waitress left her shift unexpectedly, and I saw the chef being verbally abusive to the staff, as the kitchen is open and visible from the dining area. There were arguments between the staff and the chef because of his behavior. When our food finally arrived, it was at room temperature. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had!

I'm not sure if there was an error in our dishes or if they typically use such a heavy hand with salt.

I usually don't endorse Domino's, but their pizza is certainly superior to what this restaurant serves. It's a shame for Mt. Laurel Township. read more I usually don't endorse Domino's, but their pizza is certainly superior to what this restaurant serves. It's a shame for Mt. Laurel Township.

I ordered through Slice, and my delivery was greatly delayed. When the food finally arrived, it was cold. To top it off, the restaurant was closed the next day. read more I ordered through Slice, and my delivery was greatly delayed. When the food finally arrived, it was cold.
