I never been to a restaurant that mostly served variations of meatballs and sauce. It was quite crowded due to the events gong on downtown. Food came out fast and tasty with dipping sauce that was just too good to describe. I really appreciated the fancy jugs of water they brought out to the table for quick refills.

2nd attempt in one weekend to go here. First attempt I was told to sit at a 2 two-top with a party of 4 after 30 minutes of waiting. I left after not being provided an alternative option or even being apologized to for the mistake.

The fish meatballs and the brussel sprouts were delicious. Very generous portions…I over-ordered but enjoyed what I could eat of it!

Utter chaos is the best way to describe the meal experience we had here, from start to finish. I dined in as a party of 3, and the waitress was incredibly friendly. However she did not check in with us more than a handful of times despite all of the issues that we had, and we had to ask for waters a full three times before they showed up. I am willing to chalk that part up to understaffing (after all, everywhere is right now), so the second star is for the benefit of the doubt and her niceness throughout the evening.

If you can avoid it don’t eat here ever. The food is mild at best but the really kicker was the utterly disgusting service. Our waitress was fine and nice but the food runner was rude and slammed our plates because we asked for an order to be corrected and the manager was rude and aggressive towards us for telling her so and told us that it was her third week of doubles. Frankly, I don’t care. I’ve worked weeks of doubles before that doesn’t mean you get to be rude and aggressive just because you’re tired. Get a new job.

Stopped by for lunch on a business trip. I will dream about the thanksgiving turkey ball bowl for the rest of my life. But seriously is was great. Fried cheese curds we’re good too. Would def recommend!

I had really high hopes for this place. I ordered chicken balls with pesto and spaghetti. ZERO taste. Appetizer came out after we got our food. Boyfriend ordered the Loaded potato bowl with double balls. Didn’t even eat half of it, said it didn’t have much flavor either. The side salads were ok. And yes, I told the waiter about my food. He said “I’m sorry to hear that.” And walked away. $67 and we didn’t even eat half of it.

Very busy and noisy restaurant. But a good place for a date if you’d like to chat. Meatballs were ok. Sauce is ok. Very long wait and no where to wait if you’re not interested in sitting at the bar.

The short opinion here is that there is a management issue that needs to be addressed in order for the employees to excel and make this place an enjoyable and desirable location.
