Excellent!!! We enjoyed the food and courtesy. Their hot bread was superb. Service was beyond expectation. I was impressed.

Wonderful value with Groupon. The entree protein temps were spot on. Right now the cuisine is Italian, and their pasta fazzoli soup was great. The chocolate ricotta cheesecake was surprisingly good and kept getting better with each bite.

I understand that this is a learning experience so I wont hold it to the same standard as a "normal" restaurant. That being said, the service was a little lacking. The food was OK and given the Groupon, the price point was good. The good part about the amount of time spent there (~2.5hours), we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy a meal and carry on conversations without feeling like they wanted us to leave. The food was ok, nothing jumped out as being outstanding, but nothing was really bad either. We did have to flag our waiter down multple times for more water and to open our wine bottles that were clearly sitting in the center of the table. A good experience. Hopefully for the staff as well. Will I return?? Probably not unless I was going to Philly and needed to kill 2.5 hours.
