The service and food was impeccable: the only disappointing thing I observed was that the pizza was really small. And they didn’t look consistent with other tables I’ve seen. Our pizza was smaller then the size of the pizza plate it was served on. And I’ve seen another table next to us the pizza was as big as the pizza plate which seems more reasonable and presentable rather then present a pizza smaller then the plate. Not sure if it’s dependent on the who’s making your pizza. But I appreciate consistency and feeling like I’m getting value for what I spend. Otherwise our server kaitlyn ( hope I got the name correct) was absolutely wonderful.:)

Food was underwhelming - not nearly as good as it used to be before pandemic. Also we were refused espressos at 9:21pm On a Thursday because “machine was already clean and turned off”. What kind of restaurant closes the espresso machine at 9:21pm on a Thursday with guests still dining? Also dining room was empty. 6 tables on a Thursday night at 7:30pm. No ambiance and dining in an empty dining room is never a good sign. Won’t be returning again - they’ve let the quality of the food and service slip WELL below what it used to be. I can understand why they weren’t busy on a night where they used to be jam packed. It’s too bad - I used to love it there and dine quite frequently.
