    Sophia was an amazing server. A perfect balance between attentive and leaving us to enjoy our own company. Food was amazing. Literally the best fettuccine Alfredo I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

    Great restaurant. Could use a bit more decor as it seems a bit plain in the main dining area and noise travels across the open space. Good seating areas not to crammed. great server. Great food.

    We always have a nice time. Younger possibly Australian female server was delightful. She was quick and attentive and seemed to be the only one serving but it was a quiet evening . We didn’t have to wait long for drinks or food, both of which were delicious. I had their salmon and it was cooked perfectly and served with fresh veg and roasted potatoes, I was very happy with it. My friend had the chicken Parmesan, which was excellent. The chicken was tender and more than enough. We didn’t not go away hungry! Ambiance is always relaxed and quieter, but we always go on a Tuesday night.

    Our experience was pretty good but I found it wildly overpriced for what you get. There are many other options for dinning at that price point with an overall better experience and value.

    Went there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and was very disappointed. The food was terrible for the price. We each ordered an appetizer and entrees. The salad was pathetic, it was a handful of cherry tomatoes and about 5 mini boccachini balls. We waited 25 minutes for our entrees to come and I finally had to go ask where they were. They finally came and they brought the wrong entree I had ordered, so we sent it back, meanwhile my wife sent her entree back to keep warm. Five minutes later they brought the entrees back and again they brought me the wrong thing, so we sent them back again. When they finally go it right, my wife’s entree was all dried up because it was sitting under a heat lamp so long while we were waiting for my order. The ambiance in this place is no better, we felt like we were in a cafeteria. Don’t eat at this place.

    We had dinner with friends. We all enjoyed our food and it was so wonderful to have vegan and gluten free options. The chocolate coconut milk “ice cream” was amazing! Dan was a fantastic server and we appreciated how educated he was about our dietary needs. He was extremely attentive and we were very appreciative of his service.
