    We loved our meal so much, we made reservations for the next day! Our server was exceptional, and the food was delicious. The worst part about this experience was in writing this review! Not only did they want my cell number AND then a verification, but then they wanted our email, and ANOTHER verification! It’s not like this is a bank account for goodness sake! We just wanted to give credit to our server!

    We went at 5:30 on a Saturday. CL was only about 1/4 full. Service was excellent and professional; menu options are relatively few (4 main dishes), but they were al excellently done and without any problems. The pizza was exceptionally good. About 6:30 they turned on the "background" music that was way too loud. After we requested it, they did turn it down a bit. Note that a 10% gratuity is added for the "back office/kitchen/cleaners", and you can tip the server separately. Personally, I wish they wold just raise their prices to cover the costs instead of adding a 10% mandatory for non-service staff, but that does not detrac from the dining experience.
