I wish I could remember the name of the waitress that waited on me today at around 11am. I just wanted to come here to say as a restaurant owner myself she is beyond a keeper! Its been a long time since I've received service like I did today! Also to who ever cooked my salmon it's probably the best I've ever had!! Keep it up guys!!

Food varies from really, really good to OK. Service is the same way. We have had really great service to servers who we had to remind them what food we ordered and didn't get or food that was supposed to come with our meal. Still, it is worth going to.

Tuscany Grill

While visiting Robinson on an extended business trip, we had the pleasure of eating at the Tuscany Grill on several occasions. We were able to try them for breakfast and dinner. The wait staff was always friendly and helpful. The meals were provided hot, fresh, and in a timely manner. Breakfast was the typical fare of eggs, bacon/sausage, omelets, pancakes, etc. Dinners included a mix of typical Italian food, mixed in with a good selection of typical comfort dishes. I had the Carbonara on one trip - excellent. The second dinner included the fried fish, also quite tasty. Prices were very reasonable, too.

Nice family restaurant that has breakfast all day. The portions were large and the omelet was very good as was all of our meals. The price is great for the large portions so it is a local favorite. Service was excellent.

Fast, delicious breakfast (all day serving). Veteran friendly. Thanks to Mary Rose for the suggestions!

We enjoyed our Saturday morning visit to this family restaurant. There were 13 of us, and it only took about five minutes for us to be seated. The staff was friendly, but the service was a little slow. The restaurant seemed very clean and welcoming. Our food was simple but delicious, with good sized portions. If you’re not in a hurry, this is a nice place to get a good meal.

Waitress was kinda rude and dirty looks. We wanted our hashbrowns scattered and CRISPY. They do NOT get them crispy. I hate them when they are soggy. We share our meals because the prices are pretty high and we don't need to eat all that much! Most of our visits the waitresses/ waiter are very nice but there are 2 in there that have some issues. Must not like their jobs very well.

The atmosphere is decent, and the salad was fresh, but that's about where it ends. To start, the table at which we were seated was still dirty, and when we asked to move, the waitress realized the empty table she was going to move us to was also not cleaned properly. Between these, the rag that was used to clean the tables was placed on what should have been an already clean table that was then contaminated with what was on our table and at no point sanitation was used on any of the 3 tables in question. She tried to blame the new bus boy for the state of things, but she herself was also at fault for not correcting the issue properly.

Next...the menu. The menus on Google aren't up to date with what they offer currently as my wife wanted to get gyros, but they weren't on the menu we were given. Furthermore, there are A LOT of items on the menu, which should have been my first red flag before even going to eat here. However, being new to the area, we wanted to give it a try anyway for a Saturday night dinner. Large menus generally means they are trying to cater to many different tastes but making the dishes mediocre at best. This means a lot of prepackaged, frozen, and not fresh ingredients as well as a lot of microwaved food preparation, especially if it gets out to the table quickly, which is what happened to us.

Although it doesn't take long to make pasta meals, we weren't even closely done with the salad before the main course arrived. The pasta sauces are obviously not freshly made and were very bland. The pasta was not al dente either. The only good thing I can say about the main course is that they were very large portions, which shouldn't be the case either in a respectable establishment. Serving bowls with enough for 2-3 people were given us from which to eat. At $20 each, however, it'll leave leftovers for the next day as well. Oh, and dessert too, which we couldn't even begin to try to eat and came home for later as well.

Nearly everyone there, which there weren't many filled tables for a Saturday evening, were all with patrons aged 50+. My wife and I (40 something newcomers), as well as a couple of teenage girls who looked to be with grandparents, were the only ones not in this age range. This doesn't bode well for a restaurant if the clientele are mostly older adults taking advantage of over portioned bland food while most of the seating capacity is empty. Needless to say, we aren't impressed and without major overhaul to the plethora of menu options, the lacking quality of the food, and need for better service to include maintaining cleaning standards, I doubt we'll be patronizing this establishment in the future if it lasts that long.
