    The food was fantastic. The calamari appetizer delicious, sweet and savory with just the right amount of spicy. Roasted chicken main dish perfectly done, and amazing pasta bolognese. Service was great, Brandon was helpful and very friendly - got us to the theater on time! We will come again, thanks!

    The food was amazing, you have to try the carrot cake, it’s life changing! However, be aware that their menu changes seasonally. I fell in love with their gnocchi and will have to wait until to have it again but the good thing is, there’s more options to enjoy.

    Our dining experience was great and our server was wonderful. We ordered the fig flatbread, tenderloin tips and smash burger and it was delicious. The tenderloin tips were my favorite as the combination of flavors was spot on. The only downfall of our dining experience was the slow bar service for our cocktails. Our server did her best and apologized for our drinks coming out slow especially since there was only two of us. It is a bit tacky in my opinion when your appetizers come out before your drinks. The restaurant was not busy so there should not have been any delay. We also observed the bartenders while we were there, we noticed they were too busy socializing with each other and their friends sitting at the bar than doing their job.
