    Excellent food and service! Although loud, it was very enjoyable. Loved the energy and scene. We kept it simple and ordered a pepperoni pizza and the filet mignon sliders with a salad. All were amazing! Service was outstanding!

    Our experience (my wife and I) was pretty good. Service was very good and noise level was ok. The food overall pretty good or average. The arancini we had for appetizer was great. The roasted mushrooms were good. The rest of our meals was average. Price was reasonable. We think we may try again with different menu choices.

    I absolutely love this place there has not been one thing that I’ve tried so far that I have not loved. A very large party came in that delayed our food and they were overly apologetic and accommodating. That level of customer service is so refreshing.

    We sat at a table at the bar and had the best service from Matt. He made us two custom cocktails after hearing what we liked. Amazing. The menu cocktails were also good but lacked the intimacy of the special cocktails he created. He also helped us navigate the menu with a severe food allergy, and we lived the long bone beef rib. It was so tender and flavorful. We'll be back.
