I love everything about this place. The atmosphere, the vibe and especially the food and wait staff. All of the ingredients were very flavorful and fresh. The building has a sports bar in the back, a wine bar on the opposite side of the building and the restaurant where we ate. Something for everyone, I highly recommend stopping in.

It’s been a few years since I’ve eaten here. They have seriously stepped up their service and food. Rachel, our waitress, definitely 5 stars! My pizza tonight was AMAZING and the sweet pepper soup was one of the best soups I’ve had in a long time! The Fresh Palate is definitely going on our regular restaurant list now!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I really liked the Brussels sprout appetizer and the roasted duck.

Nice place nice atmosphere, good service, food was pretty good. Pizza was very thin in the middle so if you tried to pick up a piece all the topping would fall off it. You have to almost eat it with a fork and knife. They had some interesting options for pizza that you don’t see other places.

Decided to finally eat here while in town. Nice opened space with the window out. When we sat down, there was only one other table and while we were waiting for the drinks, it got busy. The waitress couldn’t keep up and pretty much forgot about us. The table that came in after us ordered food before us. The other table that came in right after us only had water and eventually got up and left because they never got waited on. We did get the appetizer, which the sauce was cold. We couldn’t find the waitress or even the bartender, so we left the money on the table and walked out also. We both were about to order a 28$ meal a piece. We ended up going to Red Brick, which was excellent and also busy.

It’s an awesome place to check out. Very big on recycling. Right down to paper straws! No waste! The menu is intriguing with LOTS of options and various items to create your own or try one of theirs. Friendly atmosphere. Enjoyable place to eat. Plus plenty of alcohol and beer options! My favorite was the outside wall with the 3D water scene.
