My husband & I patronized Meglio's Italian Grill & Bar very recently because we heard of the makeover they received and were quite eager to try out the new fare. What a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!! When the hostess escorted us to our booth, the booth was dirty & the table was not clean either. I asked the hostess about this and she said our waiter would be with us shortly. I ended up cleaning the area myself with the anti-bacterial gel in my purse so we could sit down. Quite frankly, I was ready to leave but my husband convinced me to stay. He ordered the pizza and was half pleased but he will eat anything & is not one to complain too much (which explains our 27 year marriage :) I ordered the beef medallion over polenta (over $20) and it was the most disgusting & smelly thing ever! - I even asked the waiter what it was & he had to check with the kitchen!! When he returned to the table he said it was the chef""s play on mash potatoes & gravy. All I could say was ""Oh my"". The look of fear & panic on the young waiters face struck a parental cord with us & prevented me from sending it back. The beef was tough & undercooked, although I could only take one bite but made my husband try it too & he agreed with me. The relish on top was rancid, the polenta was chunky - like undone cream-of-wheat, and the ""gravy""....that was the worst...it was conjealing on the plate. The salad I had with dinner was nothing but a pile of wilted & witing lettuce & the house dressing (mustard vinaigrette) is totally overrated. I was so disgusted & I couldn't stand the smell anymore I urged my husband to leave, which we did. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER patronize Meglio's again. What a waste of time & a waste of money!!!\r

PS: My husband wanted me to mention that it would have been better to use liquid nails to attach the pizza pans to the wall instead of putting a big nail through the center of them. The nail is very obvious & the look is tacky.\r
