The meal I received for $100+.The bruschetta bread was thin and weak on top of being burnt. Could not taste the tomato for the overpowering garlic. Carbonara sauce had little to no flavor and the fried ham was placed on top as a big clump, not mixed in with the sauce and noodles to help blend what flavor it had. Lasagna was a mess, a scoop of meat sauce over a few noodles and ricotta cheese. Spinach ravioli was undercooked and the pasta was hard. Besides that, very greasy. You never boil pasta in water and olive oil. The only item that met expectations was the water. On a positive note, wait staff was attentive and friendly.Could have had a better meal at Olive Garden or heaven’s forbidden, Cheesecake Factory with their boil in a bag entrees.

This is a standby favorite. Pros: great menu, love the food, servers are very friendly and attentive. Cons: the room is really tight and not easy to maneuver for diners or servers, and the restroom is not very accessible.

I'm glad I came! We enjoyed the fried ravioli, Brussel sprouts, chicken piccata, and spinach lasagna. We also got the donuts for dessert. All of it was delicious and a good amount of food for the price. The Brussel sprouts are very rich - I warn. Service was good and relatively fast. Nice live music. The ambiance was the only thing lacking. There are exposed insulation pipes on the ceiling and the lighting is rather harsh. I definitely plan to be back! Especially for their Thursday date night

We really enjoyed the food and service. The ambiance was ok, but the large bright light in the middle of the dining area really took away from the overall feel. Also, the beer list on the menu was completely wrong. That all said, we will definitely be back as the food, service, and value were great.

Our server was great, but the portions were small and expensive for what they were. Was very nice on the inside and the environment was quiet. The food took a while and hardly any food came out so almost every table was waiting.

Incredible Sunday Brunch menu. My wife had the cinnamon roll waffles which she loved with homemade whipped cream. I had the Italian Eggs Benedict which were incredible. Very unique flavors with Italian sausage, sundried tomatoes, toasted Italian baguette bread and nicely seasoned hollandaise sauce. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, attentive. We'll be back.

The food was fantastic! The service was only adequate. My server couldn't even tell me the name of the IPA they had on draft. After going and asking, she just said it was a hazy IPA. The server was also slow for a small restaurant that wasn't full. However, when she finally took our order, the food did come in a reasonable time.
We had a wonderful Sunday Brunch with small group of people! Lemon berry waffle/croissant mash-up was unbelievably delicious. Can't wait to go back in the evening so we can try the traditional dishes and dessert.

The food was shockingly sub par. The restaurant was very clean, the staff was attentive and very nice. Two dinners, two sides of veggies, and an appetizer were $80. The amount of salt in the food overtook the flavor. The sides of veggies were 4 paper thin sliced 5 inch long strips of zucchini. They were nothing but oil sogged overly seasoned floppy tasteless strips for $7 per plate. Disappointment doesn't even begin to explain how bad they were. The dinners were run of mill Americanized Italian food, not worth the price in any way. The ravioli spinach with goat cheese was 4 ravioli total. We expected high quality food based on the prices, and were looking forward very high end flavorful food. What we experienced was a shocking amount of salt in each and every dish and food that was not worth the price.

The sauces over the Lemonberry Strudel Waffle were excellent but the waffle itself was tough, even with a knife, and lacked flavor. The Italian Eggs Benedict was delicious...except it was missing the key part, egg. This turned out to be a load of sausage and sun dried tomatoes over a piece of bread but this overpowered the egg so much you couldn't even taste it was there except a tragic hint of hollandaise sauce. Overall, this place has good potential but they are missing a few key details which makes the food miss the mark. Plus they charge a hidden kitchen fee that the staff couldn't even explain all while literally running out of coffee at brunch (and it wasn't exactly busy)

Inconsistent food servings:
I think the good reviews on here are for the old restaurant that was here. I also liked it. This new version is just ok. I went with a group of friends. First of all, no one was even aware I was there for a bit before someone happened to see me. There was lots of noise in the back, but nobody was paying attention. One of my friends and I ordered the same thing. Hers came out and had a nice-sized piece of chicken. I was looking forward to mine, but was shocked when she brought mine out and it was about a third the size of my friend’s serving. Not blaming the waitress, but she knew something was wrong. Especially when she asked if she could get us anything else and I said the rest of my chicken. Kind of joking but not. It did taste very good but was not a good serving for $23. Not a good first impression!

The restaurant is very small so the tables are very close together. The noise level is very high, makes it hard to converse. The food is good, but small portions. Very cold in the dining area.
