    It was so dark inside that it was difficult to see the food we were eating.

    Cocktails disappointing, food excellent. Loved bread with salted butter. Pasta and pizza exceptionally delicious. Friendly, informative servers, appreciated hostess's attention to our seating request.

    Server was excellent, knowledgable, attentive but not intrusive. Apps and pizza were terrific--love the new sourdough crust. The heirloom tomato app was a particular treat. Desserts were not as spectacular--a bit bland, particularly the blackberry cake. But overall, very pleased with our meal.

    My friends and I just had THE BEST meal at Sister. It was so good that we wanted to eat it all over again...like order all the same things. Exceptional service, incredible food (and cocktails and wine). I love the new name too and that a new restaurant can bloom inside this great space. I'll definitely be coming back to Sister. 💗

    Met friends for dinner. I don’t eat pizza very often, but will day this was really good. The ambiance was great, service friendly and food really tasty. Four of us split 2 little gem salads and 2 pizzas. I had the mozzarella and Gouda pizza and added sausage. Very tasty. Would definitely eat here again.

    Pizza service at a fine dining price. It was Friday date night and it took the receptionist 10 min to even get to me. I explained that my husband was parking the car (we were not a group of 6 teenagers). She then declared that I could not sit at the table until ‘my party was complete’. So I sat the 7 min looking at the table that she ultimately sat us at when my husband arrived. I guess that as a 60 year woman, I just look like a liar. The waitress did not take our order for another 15 min. The food was fine (I loved my tomato entree ($17) and my husband thought the salad was so so. All in all we could hardly wait to get out of there.
