    We had a Valentine's dinner reservation and opted to order from the menu instead of the Valentine's special. I had the filet mignon steak medium rare and my mouth was having a party. The steak was accompanied by a pinot noir that was a perfect pairing. We finished the meal with a trio desert that hit the hunger spot right on target. The table service by Jeff was excellent but the food was divine. I highly recommend the dining experience!

    Pizzeria Lola was awesome. The Lady Zaza pizza was very good, along with the mushroom toast appetizer, followed up with ice cream and cookies. Our Waiter was excellent and can’t wait to go back.

    We were seeing a show nearby and looking for a quick bite to eat so we tried out Mother Clucker's because how do you walk past a place with that name and not go in? It was SO GOOD. Seriously. The bartender was so nice and recommended the chicken sandwich with mac as "fire." She was not wrong. So. Good.
