Arugula Bar E Ristorante

My husband and I had dinner here last night.  We had eaten here before so were super excited to have the risotto.  Wow, it was really bad and we were deeply disappointed.  It was super salty and almost soup like.  The lack of consistency at this restaurant is really the issue so if you hit it on a good night, great and if it was last night, not so great!  I admit it was our bad for not sending the food back, but we just didn't want to make a scene.  Thankfully there is Yelp and hopefully they will read this review.

We had dinner here last night. It was a very good experience. Our waitress, Misty, was excellent help getting us through the menu and my wine choice.

Our courses arrived at a very nice pace. There was not a rush to them at all. It made a very long day incredible enjoyable and relaxing.

We had the fennel salad. It was dressed well and the grapes and pecans were yummy.  I had the Vegan Platter, it was filled with such a variety of choices. I enjoyed all of them. I ate and ate and still had more than half of platter to be boxed up. My guy ordered the Hanger Steak. It was prepared as ordered and he enjoyed the sauce that came with it. We finished with dessert and coffee. The coffee was excellent. The tiramisu was light and had just enough chocolate shavings to not over power the marscapone cream.

We had a couple of hic ups but the were quickly rectified and dinner moved forward.

We will return soon.

I liked the napkins.
I can't speak too much on the food being that I have only been here once and will probably never return. It seems everyone's tastes are generally very subjective so critiquing food with little appeal is like critiquing a blank canvas.
That being said what the most alarming single moment in our visit was the side conversations being had by from what I discovered was the manager/owner. This man's drill-sergeant type of management was a bit overwhelming and distracting from what I would believe to be a calming ambiance. I understand people may have bad days, but some of the vitriolic and nefarious things coming from this man to his employees were disheartening.
I will not be supporting a business that's supervising approach is derived from fear and insulting. You will not see me here again.
