Best KPortal Reviews
This was our 3rd time giving this place a shot over the last 5-ish years. The time prior to this visit was carry-out at the tail end of COVID. The time before that was about 5 years ago and my wife was explosively ill immediately after. Other than the illness bit, the food is just "meh" and super bland. This evening's showing is probably a bit worse.
The selections:
0) Beef Stroganoff - It looked good, but it had very little flavor. I rarely add salt or pepper to anything. This required both and it was still, then, just salt/pepper flavored meat and noodles in a light mushroom colored cream sauce. The noodles were well cooked though. The beef was overcooked to that dry dusty texture. In the picture the ridge of the plate at the top clockwise, there's a few pieces (tiny bits) of steak, a few pieces of onion, and two of 3, _three_ mini micro the-least-we-could-get-away-with-adding-and-not-be-called-liars mushroom bits in the whole dish. I dug around a while trying to find any mushrooms. The menu description mentions "pieces of steak" and "sliced mushrooms". Stretching the truth to its absolute breaking point from my point of view. The dish feels, and given the taste it might be worth the experiment, like a can of Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup, a pinch of ultra finely diced onion, an old overcooked and beat down 2 oz bottom round gnashed up (for quantity trickery), 6-8 oz of rigatoni, a tablespoon of sour cream, and a little pre-shredded parm (like what we get from Costco) and a little pinch of parsley flakes for garnish/presentation. Probably would have more mushroom and flavor though.
1) Margarita pizza - This was more of a crime than the stroganoff. The cook and crust were fine. The cheese was texture and binder only. The under ripe sliced tomatoes had more flavor than anything, including the "dash" of basil. Note that the primary flavor component of a margarita pizza is balsamic vinegar. It was no place to be found. I would bet money that they don't even pretend to add it. Absolute abject failure. If the restaurant personnel read this, change the name of this thing or strike it from the menu altogether. Or go get one from Gianni's in Everett or Whole Foods anywhere/Lynnwood to discover what such a thing is supposed to taste like.
2) kids pizzas - One had cheese and the other opted to add pepperoni. They both, boys 5 and 8, ate them w/out issue. But they have yet to actively reject any cheese/pepperoni pizza.
The service was acceptable as was the atmosphere/cleanliness.
We are unlikely to risk another visit. Before tip, the meal itself was $86. Over a c-note, all in, for food this lackluster/low quality is just plain sad. I remember when Golden Corral was a thing in Marysville/Arlington...bulk buffet style food of that caliber is comparatively Michelin star tier.
Love this place. The Wicked Shrimp are awesome. The kids got their favorite Mac and Cheese. I always have a hard time deciding what to order, whatever I order has been great.
I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I was SO happy to find a restaurant with so many gluten-free options! We were seated quickly, but that was the only part that went well. It was very busy, so I assume that was part of why the waitresses were so rushed, and despite our party of 6, nothing was good, just sort of "meh." The chicken was inedible, I couldn't even cut through it with my knife. The foccacia was flavorless but warm. We asked for steak rare and it was well done and edges burnt. We were given the wrong drinks. The patron next to us got in a yelling match with the manager over their own meal issues. It was our first visit, and I'm sad to say we won't be back because it has great reviews and I so wanted to like it, but I think the focus was more on speed than execution and I can get that anywhere.
Love the atmosphere and the service. Food is good, the chicken wing is little bit too salty but I believe it maybe good for other people. Besides that I’m very satisfied!
This place was an unexpected surprise. We enjoyed a wonderful meal here, with delicious food & friendly service.
We both had the chicken saltimbocca, with one being gluten free. Both were better than expected with large portions.
The booth we were seated in was cozy, with the restaurant having a nice atmosphere.
If we were local we would definitely go back.
Love this place! Great for groups! Super bummed they got rid of their fritters. The Brussels are so good. If you don't like Brussel sprouts, these are sweet with bacon. Try them! The fries are some of the best! Great pasta!
Fantastic food, great service.
We ordered Seasonal Salad, wings, calamari, and Seasonal veggies. I had a craft beer and a cucumber lemon drop.
Chris was our server was Chris and we sat outside. Sunday is "happy hour" all day. Definitely going back on Sunday.
Been here a few times, and overall it's a decent place. Personally I feel like the flavor of the meats on their pizza aren't the most flavorful but it's passable. (My favorite is Garlic Jims) A little on the greasy side and the thin crust is definitely thin and a bit hard but that does help it from falling apart. The cheese is great though. Service is friendly and the place is decently clean. Just a personal preference note, they're almost always playing country music and that's a weird vibe for an Italian spot. Lol...
One last note, it's pretty damn expensive here. I guess that's just how much it is to eat out nowadays but 20-40 each? Dang, man.
