What a strange place. Â Servers are dressed formal like it's some fancy restaurant yet it's filled with all kinds of cheesy fake plastic trees etc, and random hockey man room decor...with Italian style music blaring so you can't speak to your fellow dinnermates. Â The entire place looks like the owner literally just took everything they owned and decorated the place with it. Â So weird.
Annoying: Â Can't write the tip in with a credit card...you need to leave a tip with cash. Â Annoying: Â No fountain drinks so you get a half warm plastic bottle of soda to drink
Not a fan
Really surprised by the quality of the food here considering the restaurant's location. I'm from Ogdensburg, where good food is hard to find. Probably because there's so few restaurants to choose from in the first place, but whatever.
The pizza and the entrees here are pretty good. The wine selection is sad, but being from Ogdensburg, I know you can't get too fancy.
Overall, my biggest issue with this place is the slow service. It takes forever to get greeted and served. The decor is also gaudy, but for some odd reason, it fits.
We didn't realize before walking in that we were going to be entering an alternate universe called Italian New Jersey. That's fine. Eye-popping and slightly nauseating and I think I tripped over at least 8 pillars and fake fountains with what looked like blue jello in them, but whatever. Â There was also a puzzlingly large and random collection of hockey paraphernalia. Mostly the Habs, but some Sens stuff and some others. Â
The service was a little dodgy. The owner was wandering around, hamming it up with the regulars, but it took us a while to get a waitress. And when she showed up, it was with a ten year old in tow.
The Pinot Grigio, which otherwise would have been pretty good, was served warm. Â The wings were pretty mild, though the mild is actually medium. Â The rest of the meal was fine. According to my mother: "better than McDonalds but I won't rush back.". The owner conspicuously didn't consult us on the quality of our experience as he had all the other groups, but they did give us a bridge pass to get over the bridge without paying a toll.
Don't go for the service (maybe for the super sophisticated bottles of hand sanitizer provided on your dinner table???), and if you do go, watch for low-hanging branches!
