Our last night in Corolla was spent dining at Mike Dianna's. On appearance, it looks nice. From there, it is all downhill. Our trip was early in the season and the restaurant was not that crowded. We waited over an hour for our meal to arrive, from the time we ordered. Then, my filet, which was ordered medium well (which on their menu states that it will be butterflyed) arrived and was barely warm, and bleeding, and not butterflyed. I sent it back, and waited another 20 minutes only to have it delivered back to me burnt on the outside and still bleeding on the inside. The manager came over to me and asked if it was ok now. I showed him the inside and said it was still not medium well, - (heck, it wasn't even medium). He proceeded to insult me by saying this was a good cut of meat and not what I was used to buying at the grocery store. How the heck does he know what I buy and where!? I paid the bill, left a 20% tip for the waiter and left. Bottom line is this. The restaurant is way over priced. Now I don't mind paying premium dollars but I expect premium service and quality of food. I received neither. I've been vacationing in Corolla for years and eating at Timbuck II on every trip (this is the center where the restaurant is located for those not familiar). My recommendation - Eat at North Banks located in the next building over from this hole. The food is good, and the service has always been outstanding. They too are a ittle pricey, but they can back it up with quality and service.
Pros: It's located in Corolla
Cons: Everything else - Quality, Price, Service, Manager/Owner
