text: We decided to go to this restaurant because the wife just had to try the squid ink pasta If you want to try this restaurant you should seriously reconsider or temper your expectationsnnGot off to a horrible start when I pulled into the Tropicana and tried to valet park my car There were cars in front of me and cars in back of me and valet guy running around trying to park all the cars Literally stood at the valet for minutes just to give the valet guy my car key Even funnier was there were like door men standing around watching all the cars congregate So valet guy but door men excellent use of resources Tropicana Carla if you read this you seriously need to move to a different place Tropicana is about years behind the times I honestly would not return to this restaurant just based on the terrible valet parking alonennOnce I got to the restaurant we had a quick wait and then were seated The decor looks like a homely kitchen kind of thing but the prices were high end restaurant Not a good combination Got a pretty nice bread plate with some olive oil to start For appetizers we got the mussels in white wine broth Very well done and my favorite dish here The wife got the tagliolini with squid ink tomato sauce and various seafood Dish was okay but I do not think the squid ink added anything to the dish except for color I got the oriechette with mild sausage and brocoli rabe The mild sausage was too mild as I thought there was almost no taste to the sausage The green sauce and the dish itself was kind of bland We also got a side dish of peas and proscuitto While the taste was okay the peas were a dull green color and wrinkled which leads me to believe they were frozen peas and not fresh Just more disappointment for me Lastly we had to sit for almost hour before we received our pasta dishes nnI wanted to like this restaurant but I do not think there is anything here that would make me want to go back
