    Really cute looking inside, and the food was delicious. Our server might have been new because she had to ask a few questions to other servers before getting back to us. She was very nice but I think they were super busy and so the drinks took longer than expected.

    As my 80 year old Mom said “this was the best chicken parmigiana of her whole life!” All of the food was excellent, our waiter was great and the ambiance was so pleasant. The only downside was our couch like seat was a bit uncomfortable. Overall I would highly recommend the place!

    Everything was really good and enjoyable. Some may say the service was a little slow- but for me it was more of a relaxed feel. They were not slammed busy, so they gave us the time to casually enjoy our dinner and the friends we were with.

    We made reservations online and asked for a Booth in bar. When we got there no one was siting in booths. They didn't even look at our request. No one came to take our order. We had to stop someone and ask if we had a waitress. Not impressed at all we whole beginning. Didn't enjoy wine. Salad had way too much dressing. Pizza way oily. This was our 4th visit there. Probably won't go back for a long time.

    Everything was wonderful-the food, the service and the location to the theatre. The benches in the bar area are not that comfortable but the food distracts you!

    The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is always attentive and welcoming. My only issue is the frigid air blowing on us each time the door is opened. They need a vestibule door at the bottom of the stairs.

    The food was delicious. Our server was great. Food came out in a very timely manner! I would have given it 5 stars but it was so cold in there that we had to keep our coats on.
