    Wonderful experience. Staff was awesome, including the secondary waitstaff who assisted with drink refills/other items. Upside down cornbread wasn’t awesome, BBQ shrimp sauce was a little overpowering, but flatbread, fries, and dumplings were fantastic. Cotton candy was a cute and fun addition - made the kids feel special. Will absolutely return to try different items - about to choose from.

    As usual, we had a very good experience. We had one of our two preferred servers (Rivers and Sarah) take care of us. Rivers was accommodating and attentive; Sarah stopped by to say hello. The Sardinian red was a very good match for the new funghi pizza. We asked Rivers about the availability of fresh thyme for the pizza and he brought some out. It turned a very good pie into an excellent one. The molten chocolate tort was outstanding.

    My husband and I made a reservation here for Valentine’s Day. It was our first time in the city and to be honest we didn’t really know what to expect. The staff were wonderful! They were all so kind and worked together as a team pretty seamlessly. I don’t feel like we had to wait around for anything. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. I got the pumpkin ravioli and my husband got the fillet with asparagus. We loved both dishes so much and left feeling satisfied. Safe to say if we come back to the city we’ll be back here for sure!
