We went there to eat after theater at the Vineyard, but will definitely be back for a comedy show. The food was very good (Harvest Pizza - yum!) Liked the atmosphere and the staff was very welcoming.

The food was cold, the check time from the kitchen was really long, didn’t seem like the kitchen staff was even there. To get us into the restaurant, we had to walk through the service entry.

Asparagus should have been trimmed better as the lower portion was not feasible. Main pasta dish was good.
