We had a great experience! Our server was lovely and very knowledgeable about the menu.
I’m really sad to leave this review because my family and I have been coming here since it first opened as The Farmer’s Table years ago. Unfortunately, last night’s experience was bad enough that we won’t be returning. Despite there being no more than four tables occupied (including the patio), service was terrible. We sat for ages without any attention from the male server. Eventually, a woman server stepped in and was much more efficient, which we appreciated—but by then, the tone was already set. The food was also very di... read more
Most staff was very rude, impatient, and unprofessional. My party and I felt uncomfortable asking more questions about menu items. Waiter was obviously annoyed and rude to my party. At one point waiter snatched menu from parties members hands and threw menus on side table. Floor was very dirty
Me and my girlfriend went here on valentines day, the service was rushed it felt as if they were trying to push us out the door as soon as we sat down, food was sub par and not worth the price you were paying, the pasta was lukewarm drenched in mediocre sauce and the shrimp wasn’t even de-shelled, the ribeye steak ordered medium rare came out chewy and tough, the risotto it came with was bland, 0 flavor, the meatball appetizer tasted like store bought frozen food, the crab cake was sub par at best, you were only given one, t... read more
We didn’t enjoy our experience here. Restaurant was very loud inside. In addition, both of our meals came out the wrong way. On one of the dishes they used different pasta than was advertised on the menu and never said a word to us, thinking we wouldn’t notice. Then the other dish was made completely incorrect. When we asked for them to prepare the dish the same way as described on the menu, they simply threw it in a pan and recreated the dish, without preparing a brand new dish. Very frustrating honestly. Will not eat here ... read more
Too loud and bright very poor ambience ? Tables too small and close together, our table was wobbly and we saw a dirty knife on the floor under our table. We waited 10 minutes and decided to leave, we never ordered.
We are nearby residents have dined here on two consecutive Christmas Eves and unfortunately will not do so a 3rd time. We really wanted to give La Pastaia a second chance but they refuse to staff accordingly yet allow a full restaurant of booked tables and prie fixe menu (which ran out of items). Last year we were understanding, the restaurant was brand new so the long wait for food and service could be tolerated. But again for Christmas 2024 it was arguably worse (and we were hosting guests from the UK)- we had a reservatio... read more
Staff was attentive and service was prompt.Pasta overcooked and had no flavor.
We dined on their first anniversary. I’ve been here before and it was very good, but this time they were too giddy and not providing great service. They were very friendly and very happy when they passed, and they doled out some free champagne. But it took a long time to get anyone’s attention, to order, to get wate, etc. And it was made worse that every once in a while someone would appear at the table and say “ how is everything going ??”  and you would tell them, we’ve been waiting to order, or waiting for water for 20... read more
