    Really delicious food for a reasonable price and good service, but the acoustics inside were bad and the music was loud. If I were to go again, I would definitely sit outside.

    Our evening was perfect in every way!! We had the meatballs for appetizers - scrumptious!! One of us had the ravioli and the other had the risotto - perfectly prepared and flavorful!! The mango sorbet was the best ending!! We will definitely tell everyone about The Blade, and we will be back !!

    The food was excellent. Sat in patio area. Lot's of flies hovering over the tables. Our server didn't acknowledge our special event if why we were there celebrating. The area has people that are mentally ill. Lots of noise from them walking near the restaurant.

    Overall recommend. The service started out slow - it was not busy and after 10 mins with no server, we asked and it still took another few minutes. Service overall was adequate- but the server was not enthusiastic and somewhat seemed to be just going through the motions. Food was very good, portions also very good. We were pleasantly surprised with this neighborhood gem.
