    Pretty good food. French onion was good and the pork belly was yummy. The meat on the tri tip sandwich was not great but the bread was really good. Good beer. We sat near the side door which was not nice. The server was nice and attentive. Overall I would come back.

    The food is excellent and the service was outstanding. We went on a busy night - a play was happening nearby - but we still had plenty of time. Recommend making a reservation.

    Have eaten here many a time. Went before a show at the Pioneer, probably won't do that again or will go much earlier. Had a 6pm reservation, and didn't get seated until about 40 mins later. Server was very nice and greeted us fairly quickly to get drink order. Ordered dinner (Wild river salad with chicken and mushroom ravs), and didn't come out for a very long time. I understand it was "show night" and the place was packed, but maybe they shouldn't take so many reservations at the same time? Still enjoy the food, raviolis are amazing. Definitely rivals La Strada! Only issue is the price. Had to pay $32 for 7 raviolis, which seemed excessive. But still very good. Salad is a salad, but was good. Still like this place, especially for lunch in the summer on the patio, but may steer clear before a show. And definitely recommend.
