The food was very good as usual; Riley at the front desk was great and service from Samantha was exceptional. We would love to have her as our server anywhere. One down-note, which has nothing to do with the excellent dining experience, is that P&D no longer accepts the InKind payment App; so if you loaded a significant amount of $ on that app, in part because you loved P&D, you will need to use it elsewhere.

Beautiful interior facing fountain Square. Felt like a special occasion place without the Jeff Ruby prices! Outstanding service, all the staff were pleasant and acknowledged us. Food was very good, not outstanding. Pastas were average, burger was OK, eggplant appetizer was a wow with the table service. We would return.
