Fantastic! I’d been past this restaurant a hundred times, but had never stopped in. What a miss on my part — everything was great. Service was attentive without being over the top…and the food was outstanding. Pasta, salmon, chicken. All great. A new star in our local restaurant mix! If you haven’t been here or haven’t been in a while go check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Consistently a wonderful dining experience with the best service and food. Frequently, the slightly older/middle aged server who is usually there had so much energy and liveliness it really brought the spirits up in the room.!

We made the unfortunate choice of ordering takeout from here tonight. We called at 5pm to place our order, were told 30 mins and arrived at 5:35 for pickup.Our order was NOT ready and the staff seemed to have no idea that our order existed. My husband went to the back area only to find 4 workers having themselves a lovely glass of wine. He then had to RE ORDER our food after someone asked “well what do you want?”We then had to wait 15+ minutes for them to make our food. Only to get home (5 min drive) and have the pasta be congealed together.I would’ve kept the bruschetta separate but instead they chose to plate it inside of the to go container so it looked like slop by the time we got home.We have had this place on our want to try list forever and we won’t be back.They had two tables of customers in the restaurant - a total of seven people.When I asked one of the workers what happened to our order she said the ticket got lost in their system. Unsure what happened to the woman who took the phone call and didn’t realize for 35+ minutes that the order was not ready nor being prepared.The pictures speak for themselves.$8 for 2 meatballs. $7 slice of tiramisu. Don’t bother with the carbonara.
