2 /5 Stormtrooper 24: Oh my Google reviewers, you completely misled me. Based on your score of 4.6 stars, I decided to give this place a shot before a concert at Concord Pavilion. And I have to say, I don’t get it.
We walked in and there was one table seated and two people at the bar. All patio tables and other tables were empty. The host took us to the furthest table at the back of the restaurant, tucked behind a wall. I’m assuming this was because we didn’t have a reservation - not quite sure why we had to be hidden in the back. The host had terrible body odor, you can imagine my disappointment when he turned out to be our server as well and we had to endure bad b.o. every time he came by.
The drinks and food were very reasonably priced, I love a good neighborhood restaurant with realistic price points. Menu has a good variety of cocktails, appetizers, and pasta options.
We started with the olive pesto dip, which is their most popular appetizer. It’s described as mediterranean mixed olives with candied walnuts, pesto, honey balsamic and olive oil. Ours had no walnuts, minimal balsamic, and what seemed like feta cheese. Not sure. But it was just kind of a bland oily dip for the stale bread.
For our entrees we ordered the ravioli and the carbonara. My ravioli was okay, the sauce was a weird brown color though which could be a little unappetizing visually. My spouse had the carbonara and it was bland. We had to ask for salt and pepper to try and season it. To make everything a little worse, the fresh flowers at our table had quite a bit of fruit flys which kept interrupting our meal.
Once the food was delivered, nobody really came back to check on us. There wasn’t an opportunity to order more drinks, we were offered dessert by a different employee later in the visit, but once the restaurant started to fill up, we were kinda forgotten about in the back.
I don’t know guys, I think you got this one wrong.
