I have been going to this once great restaurant since 1994, and always enjoyed the food, the passing trains, and the old time atmosphere. I have gone to Giuseppe's with my family for every special occassion I can think of. I have gone their for every pre-deployment dinner to Iraq and Afghanistan, every Birthday celebration, all four times to celebrate my various college graduations, and even to have my small bachelor's party there with my family and friends. \r

I must say that Giuseppe's has been a staple of stability in the community and in my life. Until last night, I usually had good things to say about Giuseppe's. Last night my wife and I went there for my 31st Birthday, and had the worst experience. Between the lies about our drinks being part of Happy Hour, the meteocre food, having to go to the bar to get refills of water, and the constant awkward ""walk by commentary"" interuptions by our server Cheryl, this is the worst experience I have ever had at this once great restaurant. \r
\r
The entire experience took two hours and 20 minutes from the time we sat down, to the time we were able to depart. The new owner, management, the terrible new menu, overpriced food, and and loser who calls himself a chef are all as weak as the product the serve. You have run a once great restaurant into the ground; goodbye Giuseppe's!
