Q: My recommendation, do not go! Tonight's dinner could possibly be the worst experience at any restaurant ever. Our server was short with us and seemed to have no time and it wasn't even busy. The food was pure grease with cheeses and sauce. La Torretta was over priced and the atmosphere was plain and seemed quite dated. I don't know who might have posted the other positive reviews but I can only guess it's family.

A: negative

Q: Like many of the other reviews have recently noted: BLAND and SMALL PORTIONS!!! This place was once known for it's good portions of tasty food but lately... no more!!! I had a chicken breast salad that cost $8 and it was no larger than a decent sized side salad elsewhere. The meager portion of cubed chicken was mostly flavorless and the amount was laughable. The bleu-cheese dressing was thin and so bland that it could have well passed for watered-down cottage cheese. My roomy's fried chicken dinner was a bit better as far as the chicken's flavor, however the quantity was pretty sad as well. The drumstick reminded me of a Long John Silver's "peg-leg". She said the mashed-potatoes were straight from a box and the light gravy was utterly devoid of any flavor. When asked, the server did bring her some brown gravy that was somewhat better. Our meal was rounded-out by two absolutely forgettable slices of clearly previously-frozen industrial quality blueberry pie that the server swore was "homemade". Is summary..... Our meals were reminiscent of a school cafeteria's offerings. We might try it again in several months to see if the quantity and quality improves but I sure can't recommend this place for now.

Q: Limo driver was late picking us up. There is mandatory $40 tip to each of the three people: the limo driver, elvis, and photographer on top of the other fees (is ridiculous!) That's $120 already! Leaving we felt we were rushed out and they locked the doors on us. A homeless man came up to us and was bothering us, so one of the guests knocked on the door very hard with his key and the photographer finally opened the doors (after we knocked with our fists and rang the doorbell several times). Then the limo driver was late picking us up (about 30 minutes late even though we called him and he told us he was 10 minutes away). Went inside to talk to the photographer and he would not give us back the $40 tip we had to give the limo driver. The envelope was on the desk in plain sight and told us we could not get our money back. I bet if we said we wanted to ADD money to it, that would not have been a problem. Told us he is an independent limo driver even though the place's address and name are on the side and the photographer handles the money. Elvis impersonator was funny, kind of cheesy, but the photographer had an attitude and reminded us of the wedding guy from The Hangover except not cool and not funny. Elvis would make me want to go back, but the rest of the staff ruined our night.

Q: Plenty of crab legs at the buffet. Also plenty of other food and dessert. All you can eat and soft drinks, tea and coffee included. Always a crowd so plan accordingly. We love the crab legs which are refilled often at the food bar. Great salad bar too.
