After many years of hearing about E&V, finally went with a party of five. The calamari was done to a turn and outstanding. Tlhe veal parm. was dry, thin and overly sauced and tasteless. I have had better in diners. Chicken marsala was tough and stringy. Seafood over pasts was just o.k. Steak was o.k. but had to be sent back since it was ultra rare. Wait staff was courteous and professional. Our waiter knew I was interested in hot and spicy. He brought me a bowl of potato and hot pepper soup, which was really hot and really tasty. The best part of the experience was the wait staff. Large portions are useless if they are tasteless.
