Awful service, awful food, and it is expensive for what you get.

My wife and I have been there twice, first one was bad, we have it a second chance, but they failed.

On our first visit, I ordered pasta and meatballs, the menu said the sauce was homemade and the meatballs were also homemade. The sauce was spiced up jarred sauce, which can be good, but certainly not homemade. The "homemade" meatballs, small frozen meatballs you can get at the grocery store. And this meal was not cheap. Truly the worst pasta I've ever had at an Italian restaurant.

Our second visit was worse. My wife ordered the Affettati, "seafood salad," with Italian cold cuts, my wife asked what kind of seafood, the waiter said "shrimp, mussels, calamari, clams and scallops, she ordered it. The food came, which was meat some cheeses and peppers, etc, NO SEAFOOD. The waiter came by and she asked where the seafood was, he said it didn't come with any, we showed him the menu, he said that it was wrong and walked away, never asked if he could fix it, never apologized for the mistake, and never brought it up again. My wife decided to eat it, it was old and stale, nothing fresh for $26.00. I ordered the baked clams, which said fresh clams, but they were clearly frozen, and tasted horrible. Eventually the waiter came back, we got our check and left.

The sad part for us is that we live at kings way, we thought it would be great having a restaurant on the property to frequent, but it is not this place.

The atmosphere is an upscale hall. Tables haphazardly placed, the bar area is ok, the tv had a test pattern. The place zits on a golf course, but does not offer easy foods like, burgers, sandwiches, stuff to grab after playing golf. Instead, when they open during the day, you still only have the dinner menu.

The staff is not rude, but not attentive in anyway. No visits to see how things were, they had to be flagged down. When they did come they were nasty, not friendly, one guy acted like he was mad because we asked a question, and the rest just have attitudes.

Don't waste you time or money. The place is a microwave mill, nothing is fresh, and the seafood they have is not only not fresh, but old.

We will not be returning to our neighborhood restaurant, which sucks. But I will gladly make the trip out of the complex after golf, there are some pretty awesome places to eat in Yarmouth Port, and the staff in those, is always pleasant.

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TASTE BUDS, DO NOT GO HERE.
