    Amazing as always. No matter the location I always enjoy my food & the atmosphere. I celebrated my birthday with them & they started me off with birthday sparkles then the manager made sure to stop by with an extra serving of ice cream with my birthday cookies. Overall one of the best experiences I’ve had.

    Went for Valentine’s day & had a wonderful expierence. Sat around 3:30 pm for dinner so it wasn’t too busy. My boyfriend and I got served by the bartender who was a lovely lady. Asked if we wanted to try the wine before pouring the glass. Thankfully so because my boyfriend ended up wanting to try the Italian Punch drink instead with me! Which was 10/10. As for food we ordered the Fettucini Al Burro which came served in the cheese wheel. Kind of disappointed our server didn’t come out to serve it as we liked her personality. The man who did it wasn’t very talkative…..if it all. Which is okay I just thought seeing things online it would’ve been different. As for the food quality the pasta was a good fresh dough. Al dente to perfection. The sauce was salty and cheesy. Very yummy. I didn’t taste much of truffle butter but it was still good. The pasta was however a bit cold which was disappointing. The overall bill was pretty cheap for 2 cocktails & a pasta dish that’s served out of a parmesan wheel!

    Popped in for a quick drink while staying at the hotel nearby. Not really my jam, but the bartender Josey took great care of me. The drinks are outrageous and FULL of alcohol.
