Arrives here. Around 7:30 the place was packed, but the hostess set us at the bar. Incredibly friendly staff. Very nice bartender. They serve a full food menu at the bar, ordered a salad and a couple of burgers. Absolutely! Phenomenal burger, the freis were pretty special as well.

Been twice now and food and service were great. The only thing I could suggest is maybe some complimentary italian style bread or bread sticks to serve while people look at the menu. I will definitely be back for a 3rd visit soon.

We went because the menu online mention gluten free options available. When we asked our waitress, she said none of the appetizers were gluten free and they might have gluten free noodles but she would have to check. We went with the caprese salad since we felt bad just leaving and were very disappointed. $14 for a quarter of a very pale, ice cold tomato and a few thin slices of cheese. I was insulted that they called this a salad and listed it next to chopped salad and other entree sized salads. A cocktail, a beer, and this piece of tomato came out to over $40 with tip. Yikes!

We stopped in late on a Monday evening. Service was great. Very prompt and friendly. We were very impressed by the food. Specifically I had the portobello rigatoni which was fantastic! The apps we had were great and the other people in our group loved their entrees as well. Definitely a nice added addition to the area and we will be back for sure!

Brand new restaurant, but very welcome alternative to the stale spots in town. Front patio has giant open windows and dining room is comfortable and tastefully decorated. Food was delicious and drink choices were great!

Absolutely blow away from the moment we arrived. Service was outstanding. Great final dinner before we went home. Seafood was to perfection chef needs a medal as the place was jamming. Definitely recommend this delicious place and most of all will definitely be back well done guys.

Waited for about 25 minutes at the bar. I’m the meantime another group of 3 and a women alone sat down, the women got her drink before we were even acknowledged. Finally the bar tender came over to take our order, then proceeded to go to the group of 3 take their order and make their drinks. We waited anouher 15 before ours came. Out pizza came out at the same time as our first round of drinks, that we ordered at the same time. The whole bar top was empty drinks, and wasn’t even full. This was a Tuesday night. Not sure if she needs someone to step in and help, but something needs to be done. As a service worker myself, this is absolutely unacceptable.

The place had good food. Here’s the thing. If you are going to make it in this location and competing with a Brewery across the street, Casey’s a block away and the Stray Dog. Get an original idea please. Get people to want to come in because they want to, not because there is an hour wait up the street. The hosts had no personality, no grin, no smile, no hello, no good night. The waitress, she was nice, but clearly not trained well enough to know how to multitask. She could have worked smarter not harder. The food was good, but don’t have variations of other places in the area. You have a great spot, I grew up in the area and want you to be around awhile. Train your staff, find your niche, and crush it. I will come back again, but next time, Surprise us with service and an original look and vibe.

The food is amazing, though a bit pricey. My husband and I stopped here for the first time, and it was amazing overall. However, be prepared to be there for 2 hours on busy nights. Our waiter was amazing, but almost seemed a little overwhelmed. We will definitely be back, though!
