Staff was super friendly. Very attentive. Cocktails were great. The Arancini were delicious. I didn't love my main dish which was the Chilean Sea Bass. But I would try this restaurant again. The restaurant itself is pretty cool looking since it was a church.

Cam, the bartender, made our experience amazing. Our drinks were fantastic and our food came out delicious. I got the chicken parm and pasta and it was outstanding. I have lived in the area for many years and can safely say that you can expect great service and great food.

Outside seating was spectacular. I’ve never had an old fashion like how he made it. And my girlfriend fell in love with his strawberry martini. He was obviously busy taking care of two parties at the same time but was very personable and on top of his game. You can tell he’s a professional. Highly recommend this place you HAVE to come check this out and ask for Cameron I believe his name was….you’ll notice him for sure.
