Nice Happy Hour in the bar area. The meatballs were excellent. We enjoyed a lovely table in the back alcove for the meeting of our book club. We shared 3 amazing wood oven pizzas and salads. Our group was more than pleased and satisfied with our choices. Deandre was a fabulous server from Happy Hour right on through our meal and extended conversations. Thanks for a great girls night out!
