We were running late and the hostess was able to accommodate our new schedule. As soon as we arrived we were seated. We had theater tickets and our waitress made sure we got through dinner on time. Betty was amazing. We were able to get vegetables for the hummus for the gluten free people. The theater menu was perfect. Food was delicious and service was top notch. Highly recommend this location.

I love the home cooking feel of this restaurant. I’m gluten free, and I found plenty of options. Though the pizza looked sooooo good- I wished it was gluten free. Was a little Greek and a little Italian mixed together.

This was our first time here. Everything was delicious! The arugula salad was perfect as was my husband’s caprese salad. He had a pasta dish was he loved and my bronzini with crab risotto was amazing. Love that it’s BYOB too. Nothing to complain about. We would go back.
