I agree fully that the neon sign and menu art are more than a little tacky, but these guys aren't trying to be Bottega. That said, I thought the prices were a little steep for casual neighborhood food. You made it clear how bad your experience was there, but what did you eat?

Ordered four bottles of wine before we found one they actually had. Food was beyond ordinary, service absurd and the atmosphere reminds me of a concrete block bbq joint I went to in Springville once. Except this place is in English Village. The neon OPEN sign they've recently erected along the Cahaba Rd facade is an especially classy touch. Also, Grouper Parmasean? I can't even contemplate that idea, but I assure you it's on the plastic coated menu. Which, by the way, features a photo of a fork spinning pasta noddles on the cover. Another classy touch to be sure. I give this place six more months. There were tumbleweeds blowing through the night we were there. I thought it was completely awful.

The only redeeming part of my meal here was the salad. Great dressing. Bleh… had the veal parmigiana and it was horrible. The only redeeming part of my meal here was the salad. Great dressing.
