I'm running of eateries in Summit I'll patronize. Like Gregg Allman said after his fifth or sixth divorce, "I think I may have something to do with this..." or maybe it is more the Fran Leibowitz view - "I have standards." So I was resigned to resign my solo birthday blues from my state of mind and went into my local go-to Italian eatery. I don't think it's run by the same people or they're hiring the wrong people. As it was my birthday, I dared ask to sit in the back where it was quiet. I got a dismissive "no you're not allowed" and that ended 15 years of my patronage. So off I went to the Office and my waiter/service fellow was one of the most attentive, alert, engaging amazing waitstaff professionals I've encountered in years. Years. He personally transformed a glum self-pitying chow trip into an enjoyable evening - down to the fascinating revelation of an entire Mexican community descended from Indian ancestors from the 1500's! The fare was fine and time was mood lifting. I'll be back.

I met up with some friends and we had a really good experience. Our reaches regularly checked on us and the meal was very tasty. We started with the Couldn't Decide appetizer. The dipping sauces were a perfect trio to choose from. I also had the crispy chicken sandwich, which was not bad. I wasn't a big fan of the cheese, but it got the job done.

Tried this restaurant again for dinner with family visiting from out of town. I honestly wouldn't recommend with a large group because it's hit or miss and some people weren't satisfied with their meals. Last night ordered salmon entree, cod with noodles, quinoa bowl with salmon instead of chicken, arugula salad and a burger. They are very accommodating with the menu and it was no big deal to order the quinoa bowl with salmon instead of chicken. We ordered a regular burger but it came with cheese. The cod was over cooked and rubbery, borderline inedible. The drinks were good. Service is good. Our server was very attentive but didn't see them once our meals were served. Someone else brought us the check. There is a manager that walks around and checks on guests but she came and asked how everything is but we were still waiting for our entrees. I like that they walk around to check on guests but there is a huge disconnect.
