I eat at this Oregano's often because of the tasty food, fun service and atmosphere. The experience was awful today! A salad took 45 minutes to come to the table - waitress tried to convince me the beef takes additional time- maybe to slaughter. I have the same salad (which is normally fantastic) a couple times a month - and it is always served pronto. Today I shared my salad with my lunch date and we both noticed the meat had a funny taste, but never said anything. It wouldn't have mattered as our waitress was busy doing something other than serving us. Both myself and lunch date ended up with nausea and stomach cramping. I called the restaurant to inform the manager. I didn't mention the poor service - only expressed concern for the food tasting funny and stomach pains. I didn't ask for $ back or anything like that. He didn't bother asking for a number or name. He actually seemed preoccupied - probably filling in for the waitress that served me today. If this was my first visit to Oregano's... it would have been a last, ever!
Pros: Normallly great food and fun service
Cons: Sometimes the wait is too long- something about the beef!
