The best service I have had in a long time in any restaurant. From the hostess switching out the white napkins to black ones because we were wearing black. My date didn’t even notice until I pointed it out to her. Service was great throughout the night. The food was delicious as well. What more could we ask for?

I had brunch/lunch with my bridal party on Saturday afternoon and we were serviced extremely well. We had the: Seasonal Vegetable Salad, Hot Honey & Smoked Prosciutto Pizza, Bolognese (House Specialty) and Trottole Chicken Pesto. All plates I HIGHLY recommend. I have been here for dinner in the past and I had the same experience, great service, delicious food and drinks. Make sure to make reservations in advanced for dinner. Will be coming back very soon!
