I was so happy to get to experience the dome. As a f&b manager myself I have nothing but kudos to give to this establishment. It was lovely from the first second we walked in until the moment we left; staff was so nice, calm and attentive despite it being busy. Food was so good. The decor is really cute too. I would 100 percent go back! Shout out to Isabella and team for doing such a wonderful job.

Enjoyed dinner in the bar room with 6 of us. Food, ambiance and service were great. It was a Monday night and still very busy. Highly recommend Thai mussels, butternut squash soup (special) and eggplant chips for apps. Main dish was a snapper special and was very good. Overall great evening.

Had a wonderful dinner sitting at the bar this past Sunday night! Our bartender Darren was extremely attentive and courteous. The pork chop with red cabbage and the pot roast entrees were awesome. Enjoyed also the flourless chocolate desert. We will be back again!

Always a good time the food is excellent. The truffle pizza is my favorite. It’s a little loud, but the atmosphere is fun so you don’t mind it so much.
