I just had dinner at the location in Southfield, MI. I ordered baked rigatoni that was served in a tiny portion, it looked like a side dish instead of a full dish. I'm an Italian food lover. I eat it everywhere. I told the waiter who talked to the manager and he said that that's the normal size. Unbelievable they charge $15.99 for a tiny portion. Picture attached. Netherless to say it was not even good.
Good food - Great service by Tanya. I had the Cuban. Could only eat half of the. huge sandwich . The mac & cheese was very good. She had the fish & chips, also large portion. The strawberry shortcake dessert we had was also good. This was our first visit here and we will go back soon !
First stop after getting into the area. First person who sat us never came back with another menu or with answer to some of the board items being available on a menu or having to go inside to read. Our server was very kind and good check ins
