The pasta making was fun. We had great company next to us and since we were traveling we gave them our pasta. The portions of each course of the meal are huge! Don’t order the same as your partner. Try different things and share! We love Aunt Jake’s. This was our 4th time to dine with them, first time making pasta!

For some reason the restaurant was fully packed, the place to be! I had reservations, manager & staff are always accommodating. She said give her a minute to seat earlier guest, I opt to sit at the bar. The bartender was outstanding, very attentive. Food as alway delicious. I had to send back the zucchini chips, a bit oily for my taste, nonetheless it was no problem to switch out for truffle fries. Whenever I’m in town always my place to go for brunch, it never disappoints me!
