Great service. Very attentive staff. But 2 pizzas with a drink each was still over $50 even on happy hour.

The menu choices are varied enough for everyone to find something they like. I had the harvest bowl which was delicious. Our waitress was prompt and checked back in at appropriate times. It can get a bit noisy with large tables, but we were still able to carry on a good conversation.
