Great food in a weird environment. The place reminds me of my grandmothers sunroom. Lots of plants and small tables. Will be back for sure, decor just doesn’t match the quality of everything else.

The food and atmosphere were so good that I ate here for lunch 2 days in a row. I love the pizza—super thin crust…almost burnt on the edges…very fresh ingredients, very interesting cheeses, etc. Today, I was the first customer to try the new “Sweater Weather” seasonal feature cocktail. One word—AMAZING! Prices are fair, service is consistent, and I like the ambience and decor. Highly recommended!
