a complete joke. i went here with my family a few saturday's ago. it was about 6 pm and we drove by to see if it was busy, the parking lot was dead so we decided to try to get in without a reservation. i had heard good things about dwight's from a few friends mentioning they made their own pasta. being a chef myself, i was excited at the thought of finding a new delicious restaurant near my house. the restaurant was cute with mozaik decorations and a small bar area. then a server approached us and asked us if we had a reservation. we said no and he seemed inconvenienced by our presence. he then told us he would check to see if they had anything available. while we were waiting on him, another server came over and asked us the same thing. do you have a reservation? no hello, welcome, how are you tonight, just do you have reservation? we said no again and they walked off. at this point, i was already irritated with the idea that they didn't have a hostess or at least someone who was relatively pleasant to greet us at the door. a 3rd person came over and asked us if we had a damn reservation. i said no, we do not have a reservation and as this was occuring the first person came back over and said he had cleared a table and we could sit. i almost walked out at this point but figured we could at least eat, and if thefoodwas stellar all would be forgotten. so we went into the other room where there was only about 5-6 tables; only 2 of them were occupied. it wasn't busy at all, and remind you this was a saturday night at peak dining hours. we sat and the server came over a few minutes later with some water and got our drink order. he was not friendly but i cannot say he was outright rude; he was pretty much just there.
anyway, moving on to the food. i ordered a daily special, sea bass; my mom ordered a caesar salad and the carbonara(server recommendation); and my dad ordred the scallops. the bread was ice cold as if they had pulled it out of the freezer which was pretty ridiculous since they are right next door to a bakery. sad story.
sea bass-ridiculously over priced for starters. the flavors were decent but portion size was outrageous. i got 1 filet of fish in the center of my place w/ a horseradish mustard sauce, 2 slices of zucchini,2 slices of carrots, 1 ravioli and about an oz of carmalized onions. it was like a tasting menu with the addition of 1 filet of sea bass. the ravioli was good but it was not enough food. i'm not a big girl and i ate all of my ownfoodand some of my mothers. who serves ravioli with sea bass and 2 slices of vegtables? that doesn't make any sense. the plates were not well thought out and the plate presentation was lacking for the price they charge.
caesar/carbonara- the caesar was just a regular side caesar salad i guess it was dusted with gold because i think it was over $10. i want to say 12 but don't quote me on this. the carbonara was bland, needed salt badly and it was under sauced. the pasta had good flavor but was actually undercooked slightly. it was more than al dente.
scallops- they had good flavor and were cooked correctly but were super over priced.
anyways, i won't be returning and certainly won't be suggesting anyone to eat at this restaurant, ever. the total bill was over a $120 for 3 entrees, a side salad and 1 tea.
