“It was our first visit and everything was wonderful! My Husband is a vegetarian and adjustments were made that did not disappoint. You must have the Caprese salad. The mozzarella is imported regularly and I am forever ruined because store bought pales in comparison! Everything was delicious, the staff was amazing, and the atmosphere was intimate and romantic. We look forward to dining there again soon.”

They were decently busy but that did not stop the customer service. My husband had to work late so I went solo w my 2 year old and the owner even offered to carry my take out to the car for me! We got quesabirra tacos, asada quesadillas, two chicken tacos and two asada tacos. We left no crumbs! Can’t wait to go back!!”

“My family and I went to this restaurant for a birthday dinner last night. The service was great and so were the cocktails. The chairs were so comfortable. We loved the bread, salad and the ribeye I had, was one of the best ones I’ve ever had in my life. I do wish they had ranch dressing because I like to dip my steak in it. I didn’t love the plastic plant on the table and the fake candle. I think they should be replaced with real ones, but that is being picky. Overall, I love the place and will definitely be back!! This is a great new addition to Wake Forest.”

“We dined outdoors. It was really nice however we come here frequently the service was good for it to had been so busy but the food was not good tonight . Maybe they were tired since we got there a little before 8 and they close at 9 however we went there a similar time and had much better food I asked for medium well steak and it was beyond well done and the Mac and cheese was not hitting. The bacon wrapped scallops were good and my pineapple martini was watered down bad . I will be back next year and hopefully the experience will be like I am used to”

“The food was good, as was the atmosphere. We had a great experience but the highlight of our visit was our server Knowledge. Not only did he make sure our order was taken and our drinks were full, but he had such an amazing disposition for customer service. He was one of the kindest and most pleasant servers I've ever had. You could tell this was completely genuine and not forced. He interacted with our infant son and even won him a rubber ducky in the claw machine. He even thoughtfully washed it before he gave it to our son. Knowledge really made our Saturday night out. We'll definitely be back to visit again. Thanks Knowledge for giving us such great service!”
