    Friendly staff and no real mask requirement, they figure you are going to take it off as soon as you sit down. Nice variety of beers on tap, and unique pizza sauce.

    Food was amazing! It took a long time to get our food, and the server didn't check on us a lot. The prices were very reasonable, so overall it was a good experience. They take reservations which is great

    The appetizers were quick but the ticket time for the main entrees was about 40 minutes. It wasn’t too busy so that’s why I didn’t understand such the long wait. Overall, a great place!!

    This is a pretty good spot to grab a casual meal. Our waitress wasn’t particularly friendly but the food was good.

    They allowed a 10pm reservation but kitchen closes at 10. They claimed they tried to notify but something went wrong on a call but I had answered a previous call from them and they didn’t say anything and hung up on me. Not a great establishment.
