I'm giving 2 stars since our first experience at Val's was fantsstic: fabulous food, excellent service, etc.
Our second experience is beyond disappointing. The entrees were "good". The Mussels and Linguine was fine, however someone in the kitchen must have realized they were low on sauce and added water, since I had tomato soup rather than tomato sauce. The linguini and clams was nothing like was nothing like last time.
We would have left "satisfied" if it had not been for the lack of service by our waitress (note: I say waitress not server, because of lack of service).
1)Everyone else got breadsticks except us.
2) She spent a lot of time dinking around in the bar 3) She would continually check on her other "money-looking" tables
4) We kept having to call her over.
5) We WERE going to order dessert until she decided the table just sat with a family of 6 and changing the TV channel was more important than taking our dessert order.
The only good person there was the hostess. She got our check for us, served our food for us, etc. Wish she was our server instead.
Since our waitress sized us up as being lousy tippers, she was right...we didn't leave her a dime and never ever plan on going back to that place. Diners offer better food and service for less.
Loved the pizza: Great thin crust pizza, if that's your thing. We had a pie covered it garlic. Couldn't get enough. If you'r not a garlic fan, stay clear because they didn't hold back. The meatball pie was great as well. Lots of other toppings to make your favorite pizza.
Ture neighborhood tavern and nice early fam dining: Great lobster pizza! Warm atmosphere that screams of neighborhood tavern... NORM!! . The food is always good and very consistent. All kinds of TVs up in the bar area for viewing sports. Active take-out business, too. People have been going to Val's for ever...
