    I ordered the braided ravioli because it sounded quite interesting. It was - and it wasn't ravioli. I don't believe it had any filling. Being Italian from NJ - it should be called Gnocchi because it tasted more like a dumpling than a ravioli. My fault for not asking more questions. The burrata appetizer was very good. Every one else was happy with their meal - steak, salmon and fish special.

    Excellent experience! The food was wonderful, we were sat quickly, our service was outstanding, and the food arrived almost immediately! We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return the next time we’re in the area!

    The whole experience was amazing. Our waitress knew the menu and the history of the building. The food was awesome. The avocado Toast was the best.

    So many good things, but a few to be aware of. Most of the food was excellent, just the Italian salad was marginal. The lettuce was brown like it was sitting around. The meatloaf was amazing. Husband liked the chicken alot. Place was fully booked so the only thing we could get was 5 o’clock outside. There was a-lot of sun for a good 40 minutes. Other then that, I would go back, eat inside and not get a salad.👍

    The church is beautiful and the food was good. Very expensive, had a limited brunch menu, and wouldn’t make any personalized accommodations. Good for a one time experience. We enjoyed ourselves but wish it wasn’t $9 a side of bacon or $6 for coffees.

    We loved our shrimp appetizer and Moroccan lamb. The lamb burger did not have enough spices and the Gorgonzola we could not see it, too little. The Cobia fish plate was too fishy and meatloaf was very good. I would definitely be back, but order other dishes ! The ambiance and our server were outstanding !

    Felt like a tourist trap. Good food but they rush you in and out. Not a leisurely, enjoyably dining experience. 45 minutes from sitting to paying after two apps and entrees. As soon as apps were lifted from the table entrees were immediately brought by another person. Everyone working there from hostess to server seemed miserable and like they didn’t want be there… and didn’t care if you were either.
