I chose the stuffed veal, and asked if I could substitute pasta for the roasted potatoes since those are not one of my preferred sides, and the waiter replied no. He then proceeded to ask me what 2 sides I wanted with my meal, which totally confused me since the menu states that green beans and roasted potatoes come with the meal and I was under the impression I could not substitute anything. If a restaurant is going to offer 2 sides with the entrees, along with soup or salad, why insist on serving certain sides with only a few of the entrees??

After the waiter left with our order, a woman in regular business clothes (so we assume she was management) cornered our waiter and proceeded to chew him out for giving us the lunch menu, telling him that since it was after 2:30 that he should have given us dinner menus. My husband and I are both managers where we work, and I work in food service, and one thing we never do is criticize or chastise an employee where somebody else can overhear.

So, though our food was good, we will never go back due to the management issues. Judging by the comments, it seems we are not the only ones, and the restaurant has been open long enough to be working out the kinks by now. And the $60 that we were charged for “dinner” (no alcohol or dessert) at 2:30 was just too much.

To be fair, we did get a 5% discount for the rice issue. It’s a brand new restaurant, so part of me is willing to cut some slack, but another part of me thinks that a restaurant’s first few months in businesses is the time to *shine*.

Anyway, assuming it remains in business, we’ll give it another shot in a year or so. Good luck, Michael! I really hope you make it so we can try you again!

Thanks for the review of Tony and Luigi’s. It’s wonderful to know that Georgetown has another fantastic restaurant choice. Can’t wait to try it myself.

Thanks again! I’ll see you soon!
