I am sitting here reading all of these great reviews and I just don't understand them. This place is horrible. I went there because of all of these great reviews plus it's close by. We got right in on a Friday night around 8pm which I was shocked because that never happens!! I ordered a glass of wine and the server brought it in a orange juice glass. Part of drinking wine is the beautiful glass it comes in. If I want an orange juice glass I can get that at home. We ordered wedding soup which I could tell immediately it was from a can. It tasted like canned soup. Then our meals came out. Which were extremely large. They could have been 2 meals. Mine was pasta with mushroom sauce. I was starving I couldn't wait to eat . It tasted like spaghetti O's. It was disgusting. The other meal was pasta Alfredo with chicken. It was creamy and looked delicious. My guest said Oh my god this is terrible, taste. So I did. The pasta was complete mush and the sauce tasted like dairy creamer with tons of butter. And the chicken was cold!! We each only had a bite and told the server we couldn't eat this food. She went to talk to the manager and he wouldn't take them off the bill. We had to pay for this food and they asked if we wanted to take it home. I said I wouldn't feed this slop to my dogs and walked out! I was appalled. The service was terrible the food was disgusting I don't know how anybody can eat here. We left and went to Olive garden which is always reliable and has good food.  I just don't understand how they could charge us for meals we didn't even touch I am dumbfounded by that in itself. Don't waste your money here just because it's family owned. That was the appeal for me too. Go somewhere you know you will have good service and good food. Try Talotta's in Carnegie 513 West Main street 15106 it's family owned little hole in the wall restaurant, but it's amazing...

Why does it always end up like this

I have 2 children, 2 grand children, a mother and a father. It is St. Patricks day. My favorite holiday. And where am I? At home by myself. I had plans with my daughter. For weeks we planned to go to the parade downtown. We invited my son, his girlfriend and my 2 grand children. It would of been fun. My son never even answered the invite. My daughter and I had it all planned out. To no surprise to me, my mother decided to invite her to dinner. And my daughter wanted to go with her. Well that ultimately caused an argument which caused her to be mad at me and cancel our plans. This is my life. I should be used to it by now. And yes I blame everything on my mother. I feel so pathetic about that, but it seems like every time, every holiday, special occasion she seems to step in and reuine things. I feel like she does it on purpose. I feel like she hates me. A person can only take so much. Oh well....

It's just a little wish

Some of us with mental illness are seen as crazy, stupid. Things you wouldn't think if you never knew we were mentally ill. Things you didn't think before you knew we were mentally ill. It's not easy to live with mental illness. You don't understand what it feels like and never will unless you have a mental issue. People with mental illness need support and the best people who can support you are your family and friends. And if they don't well you have a tough road a head of you. Most people hide it from their friends. That's what I did. I wasn't trying to lie to them or keep a secret from them. It's just that I heard how they talked about people who were mentally ill and I know it would have changed their attitudes towards me. I know, I know if they were real friends that would never happen. You would be surprised. People with mental illness need their family's. And when you don't have them it's hard. It's real hard. I know first hand. I do not have the support of my family, and it hurts. Now the title to this is just a little wish. My wish is... I wish I had a family that was close. It was really close at one time before my mother remarried and then it all changed. If my family were close I don't think I would suffer as much as I do. No one knows how I feel day to day. No one talks to me everyday. The people that I work with who see me day to day know me better than my family actually does. There's no one to see me depressed, falling deeper and deeper. They don't come visit me, so they don't see that my house is messy and that I'm too depressed to even care. There's nobody to care. My birthday is Wednesday and my mother will think it's just ok to send me a card, if she even does that. What I want to express is that if anyone in your family has a mental illness, please, please support them. Check in on them, show them that you love them. Everyday.... Because we can't get through this alone.....
