“We had such a great time at dinner! It was a 7 course meal with generous portion sizes (I recommend only a light lunch prior). The food was impeccable. Seasonal vegetables and fruits (peaches), unique fish (ribbonfish was one course), cantaloupe sorbet!! Vivian Howard is right there in front of you!! She tells you about two courses at a time, the ingredients, a funny story, like the guy who brought the clams from Rhode Island for one of our courses. She's a fantastic chef, and also witty, caring about her employees. The service is excellent. This dinner was everything I hoped it would be and more. Vivian also sticks around afterwards to take photos with guests and sign books.“

“We visited tonight as a treat that we don’t get much. We were VERY pleased with not only the food, but our service was exceptional. Madisyn was literally the SWEETEST server. Our glasses never got empty, we didn’t have to ask her for ANYTHING. She was on point, ahead of the game, and really deserves a raise. It’s hard to get good food AND service at the same time at a lot of places now, and she absolutely KILLED IT. They weren’t busy inside, but the pickup orders were SLAMMED. I literally cannot tell you how good it was. We will be coming back and we will be asking for her again. Quite honestly, she was the best server we’ve encountered in a long time.“

“The food here is perfect almost every time! Staff is so friendly! We normally order through DoorDash, they’re definitely our go to pizza place. However today I ordered for takeout…showed up 3.44$ short for our total and the women working the front were amazing in covering that for us. Pizza is always top notch, prices are reasonable, and the building inside is cute and vintage looking. 10/10 would recommend over chain pizza any day!“
