    The pizza is great. Crust, cheese, and sauce has excellent flavor. Nice and crispy. If you’re a pizza connoisseur like I am, you won’t be disappointed.

    Forgot to take photos of our food! The salad with salmon was very much enjoyed by my friend, the Philly cheesesteak was good. Clean, cozy atmosphere, excellent service!

    They have great food, drinks and amazing service. Hannah was attentive, friendly and even boxes up our pizza for us with such care. The ambiance of this place was okay with poorly laid out bar area and some sad poinsettias, but I’ll go back again for the pizza, cocktails and ask to be seated with Hannah again

    Service was very good and very friendly. Attentive without being at the table every 5 minutes. Portions were huge (definitely more than one meal worth) and prices were by no means outrageous. Quality of the food was excellent (I had the blackened chicken for something different) and came out hot and in a fair amount of time. Would definitely come back again when I the area. Great atmosphere.

    Whilst it was just your average restaurant, the food and cocktails truly spoke for themselves. Our server was quite kind and was rather consistent in checking up on us. I highly recommend the seafood risotto or the pasta allá vodka as these dishes were extremely easy to approach. Check out the lemon basil martini if you’re looking for something extra refreshing!

    I was passing through town and got a recommendation from my hotel to check this place out. It was good. I’m pretty hard on places for their food and service but I also appreciate good spots. This is a very cozy and warm restaurant. Lots of locals and family vibe with lots of regulars. Service was fine. I’m a solo diner so didn’t get a lot of attention but was never lacking for anything and service was still professional. Food was good; what gets me is that a few changes would’ve made it great. I got the Whipped Meatballs off of the weekly specials menu, French Onion soup, Filet with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus with a garlic compound butter, Fig Old Fashion to drink and glass of wine with steak. Meatballs were soft and fluffy served with marinara, whipped ricotta, and garlic bread. The whipped cheese was nice texture but no flavor. Finishing this with some extra virgin olive oil and a touch of salt would make this great. French Onion soup was really tasty. Great base, not overly salty, great caramelized onions. The croutons were really weak; essentially small salad croutons. The cheese was something like mozzarella; too much stretch since it was a thick layer but I had to cut it with a knife. The crusty garlic bread served with the meatballs would have made this phenomenal if the cheese was switched up. Steak was perfectly cooked. Compound butter was on point. The asparagus and mashed potatoes, would’ve been great if just finished with some butter and little more seasoning. Wasn’t offered any dessert so can’t speak to it. This place is worth coming to. Check it out. I’ll hit it up again if I’m back this way.

    The ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff were helpful and attentive, especially considering that it was a busy night. The food was not only well flavored, the portions were good for the price.

    Walked in at 7:00 on a Wednesday and was told a 25 minute wait for a table of 1. Headed to the bar and got phenomenal service from Lindsey. Ended up with pizza for dinner and it was great! Highly recommend checking this place out. Small parking lot but lots of street parking available.
