    The food here is outstanding, we had a fantastic margherita pizza cooked perfectly! Followed by a amazing wagyu skirt steak. I sure hope they don’t get rid of the pizza oven!

    My wife & I dined here to celebrate her birthday & it was our first time eating there & I have to say that it was SPECTACULAR. From the minute we arrived at the door we were attended to. The level of service is unmatched. Every person we interacted with was super hospitable & friendly. The co-owner Dan was so great and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. The vibe of the place is awesome, the music is fantastic, (had to get the playlist before i left). Our waitress Fiona was incredible and gave great recs. And the food…..AMAZING. Everything we ate was SO GOOD. Honestly one of the best meals we have had in a very long time & worth every penny. And shoutout to the gentleman that was refilling our water, he was so personable and kept making sure we were good. The food was great, the ambiance was great, but the staff is the main reason we will be coming back again with many friends. Keep up the great work, you’ve got a customer for life!
