    Wonderful food with exceptional server. We were group of 8 and everyone’s meals were excellent. Roma pizza for group appetizer was delicious as well as pasta dishes. Our server was incredibly attentive and happy to accommodate tiny birthday cake we had for my nephew. Highly recommend. Bit loud at beginning as was full but quoted down after.

    Not sure if I would recommend this restaurant to friends. We ordered 4 cocktails, two of which were not drinkable. They did remove them from the bill. We ordered the hummus, which was so-so, the avocado stuffed onion rings, which were ok, and the ahi, which was served with seaweed salad and caramelized onions. Didn't think the onions really work with the fish. We all did though, enjoy our entree`s which included the rich but delicious Gnocchi, Jerk salmon, and cauliflower crusted pizza.

    Made reservations for 10 people, and on a 90+ degree day, the restaurant assumed my group would want to sit outside in the heat and humidity. When I asked why they didn’t even call to ask before making a terrible assumption, the response was....”we were just busy.” I am extremely disappointed in the lack of foresight on the part of this restaurant’s management and the rudeness of the manager. We were told we could get in line to be seated as walk in customers if we wanted to sit inside. In addition, with a completely packed restaurant on the inside and half of the outdoor area full as well, management only had 2 waiter/waitresses to serve customers. On a positive note, the food was very good and had it not been for the fact that we were all sweating and uncomfortable, we may have actually enjoyed it.

    We recently discovered this place, Greg’s cocktails made us return with friends. Imagine our delight, when he was able to serve us lunch as well. Thank you Greg for the excellent suggestions and patience with this group.

    Atmosphere and food were incredible but the service was EXTREMELY SLOW! We had a large party of 10 but that should not have slowed the service down that much!

    The evening was amazing! The food, wine, and service was above and beyond. I have come in for wine multiple times, but tonight we got a group of 8 together for dinner. The night started off busy and didn’t slow down until well after the dinner rush. Our wait staff was extremely professional and tried their best to accommodate the busy evening. We had a few hiccups during the evening and the general manager took care of us by ensuring we had what we asked for and making an effort to provide tip top service! We would definitely recommend this for any type of occasion.

    I wanted to love it but alas, it was a bit of a let down. Service if you want inside is actually in the bar, not a bad thing per se, but the wait staff were a tad slow and a skoshe unpolished (lots of wine glasses left on the table, plates etc..). That said, the food was decent at very decent prices. I would go back.
