    Second time dining here. I love the atmosphere a lot. It’s in such an unassuming place outside, with that odd plexiglass cube entrance, but once inside it’s just lovely. Their gluten free pasta option is one thing: Spaghetti. But am so thankful they offer one at all, as otherwise my wife wouldn’t be able to dine here. She said it was very good, and The spicy version she ordered was REALLY spicy. Usually when a restaurant says spicy it’s mid. But this was fire. Wish my rigatoni had some of that kick! Great wait staff. Greet old fashioned and wine. As many people commented it can be fairly loud and tight quarters, but definitely not to an unacceptable level and I’ll definitely return.

    We came here to celebrate my best friend’s birthday, and Phil truly made it a wonderful experience. The food and drinks were absolutely incredible, and his recommendations were spot on. We’ll definitely be back to see Phil!

    The chef/food is always fantastic. The waitstaff is too and on this visit we had a great time being served by Nikki (sp?) who was awesome and hilarious. Another member of the staff (new guy from Greenwood…whose name we didn’t catch) also made this a very memorable visit.

    Attentive service and delicious food on a snowy night. Hubby enjoyed fresh oysters and grouper & my chicken marsala was very good with a great sauce & lots of mushrooms.
