    Pleasant greeting from the hostess for our reserved table. Josh, our server was prompt and courteous. Wine was not corked, but no big deal ( it is a brewery) . Pizza flat bread was delicious, full of pesto and arugula. We were not rushed. Nice eatery.

    Food was great but we got our appetizer and our mains at the same time (after a lengthy wait) and one of the sides was wrong but quickly corrected. Didn't just happen to our table unfortunately. Staff just said "sorry" dropped the food and went about their business. Guessing It wasn't all the servers fault but don't offer appetizers (as we ordered it) if you can't get them to come out before the entrees.

    We came on a Friday before a show at Shea's, the place was very busy which was nice to see. Due to our work schedules and show start time, we had to rush through our meal but we were impressed with the food and are looking forward to returning when we have more time to try more of the menu.

    Our staff was so attentive and thoughtful. We were able to add two of our family members to our reservation with no problem. Quick service with delicious food; truffle fries were the best I have had in a LONG time!!
