Both a pasta and wine bar, the Wardroom’s menu consists of authentic Italian pasta dishes, cheese and charcuterie plates customized for each guest, and seasonal salads and antipasto dishes.

All of our Sunday brunch meals were delicious, good Bloody Mary too and they even accommodated a special order breakfast sandwich for my husband. I ordered the Cuban sandwich togo because I was torn on what to order. Giovanny was a great server and the bartender also made a holiday speciality cocktail warm for me, it was amazing! Plan to come back for dinner very soon.

I visited for a work related lunch. The restaurant was not crowded, so we had a spot to ourselves. The food was delicious. The service was perfect (attentive, not smothering). Lots of free parking across the street and connected by an elevated walkway. I would do a business lunch here again.
