    Food was great - everyone was happy. Crispy chicken sandwich, bowls, wings, artichokes, mashed potatoes, west coast steak sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich. The internal affair cocktail was super yum. Salads looked yummy but too much yum to choose from. Our waiter was very quiet and hard to hear but nice - maybe he’s new? Everyone was very nice and helpful. Service was quick. Manager very personable as well. Would return if we were to visit the area again.

    This is the second time my husband and I have had dinner here and we loved it. The food was great quality and flavorful. We cannot get over how much we love the zucchini chips and black truffle aïoli. Our server was attentive and kind, we never had to ask for a drink refill or try to flag anyone down because he was doing a great job! We are so excited to come back for another date night.

    Good quality ingredients. Needs more than one Prosecco on the menu. The pasta taste handmade and cooked perfectly. Entree portions not large. If you’re hungry, no leftovers. First visit Valentine’s weekend, make reservations. Understaffed and overcrowded perfect conditions for good pasta. 8/10 definitely recommend. Ohhh! Do the citrus olive oil cake.
