If you’re looking for a memorable, fun, delicious meal— scampi is it. The whole team is fantastic and Liz’s passion and knowledge about the food she makes & products she uses makes the whole meal an experience without being pretentious. If you want good food, to feel like you’re getting your moneys worth for a pre-fix, and to support a young badass chef who cares a lot, go to scampi!

We visited Paddy Whacks on Saint Paddy's day. The places was busy. We were able to find a table for four. The place was packed with people celebrating Saint Paddy's day. The waitress was very attentive with all the commotion going on throughout the place. The food came out in a timely fashion, and it was pretty good for as busy as they were. Would definitely come back.
