I worked for Mr. Benny, the owner, for a short period, and I can say his kitchen is immaculate. He maintains a high level of organization, uses quality ingredients, and holds his staff to rigorous standards for food and cleanliness. It's definitely the cleanest restaurant I've ever been a part of. Be sure to try the baked tortellini, calamari, and shrimp Alfredo. The bread is made from scratch every day. Overall, I would rate the food a solid 5 out of 5.

As we were leaving the restaurant tonight, we overheard the owner angrily slamming the counter and confronting his employees about someone allegedly eating in the back. He insisted it was his way or the highway. I've always found the servers to be polite and attentive, and as a former server myself, I can't understand why a workplace wouldn't allow employees to have a snack. They're busy running food all night and need energy to keep up their pace. After witnessing the way he spoke to his staff regarding food, I’ve decided to take my business elsewhere! If I were one of his employees, I wouldn't spend a dime there!

The food and service was second to none. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The atmosphere of the restaurant seemed like a refurbished Pizza Hut that never really lost its pizza chain look. Great dining experience overall. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
