    The servers were lovely but, including check-in, somewhat inattentive. My wife and I hate being fussed over but everything was a wait. I also sensed that there was a mistake made that delayed our entrees as well. In regard to the food, I thought everything I tasted it was good but I can't say that anything I had would beckon me to return soon. My wife thought the pork chop lacked flavor (salt) and seemed disappointed in it.

    A fun little place to share some small plates with friends… everything was delicious and the pacing was on-point; none of the dishes lagged but we never felt like we were rushed, either.

    I don’t know where to begin. 25th wedding anniversary dinner. I’d read some really nice reviews. I may not be a huge foodie, but my wife keeps me up on great food. The best way to describe the whole experience is to read what you think is the best review and multiply it times 10. Everything from our waitress Tina to the breve espresso was a 10/10. This is now our date night spot. Wow. Just wow. Thank you A16. You outdid yourself.

    A great dinner at A16. We started with a sausage pizza, which was delicious. My dining partner had a caesar salad and the ribeye steak. He was very happy. I enjoyed the pasta with meat and a carafe of sauvignon blanc. Overall, a very delicious dinner with good service.

    We had a friend staying with us from out-of-town, so we decided to try a local restaurant with an Italian flair. I had heard A16 specializes in pizza, so we made a reservation and went there last night. Being a Friday night, A16 was busy, but having a reservation made getting a table very easy. We were seated immediately and the waiter greeted us promptly. The menu included a variety of Italian specialties and the number of different types of pizzas was impressive! The wine list was terrific and we selected a cabernet which really complemented our pizzas. If you like asparagus, their roasted asparagus was delicious, too. We all agreed A16 is now on our short list of restaurants we like. We plan to go back soon to try some of A16’s other Italian specialties.

    The wine list should be revisited. There are no tasty wines on your extensive list.

    Service was excellent. Food was not. My fish was over cooked and dry as was others at the table. The pork chop was also over cooked and dry. The side dish of polenta was sent back because it was inedible due to the mount of salt. It had been years since we ate there and will be eons if we ever return.
