The "House Penne" was missing the fresh basil, as well as the cherry tomatoes (basically half of what makes it "House". ) The pesto sauce was a mediocre, thick consistency, and looked like split-pea soup. The flavor was very salty, and tasted worse than a store-brand, jarred variety.
The shrimp that were used were the miniature (71+ count/lbs.) shrimp - - they were not sautéed, but looked to be thawed and just tossed in with the pasta; not a huge issue overall, because you basically get shrimp in every bite, but don't expect a lot of flavor from them.
The penne pasta itself was firm, and not overcooked (just above 'al dente'); this is a "plus" to me.
The meal came with a side of bread, and the bread was fresh. Again, a "plus", and I won't be nitpicky because there was no butter.
Why did I rate this "2-stars" overall?
My entree was a tiny bit "below average" in taste, it was missing ingredients (it's a "House" dish, right?) and the clencher was that it appeared that they were out of the "premium" sparkling water (San Pellegrino, at roughly $3.50/bottle) and substituted with Poland Spring Sparkling water (which is also on the menu for about a dollar less per bottle.) The issue for me is not that there was a "substitution" made, or that I'm snubbing my nose at Poland Spring at all; it's the principle that there was no price adjustment offered, or no contact to see if I would approve being upcharged a whole dollar more for an existing menu item. Basic customer service would say that the business eats the price difference of an out of stock item, not the customer. Not notifying the customer is rather shifty.
