Any words I can put on paper would never adequately describe my first experience here today. Leesa welcomed us in and we sat at the bar. I ordered the chix parm as I wanted to see if it is truly the best. Well, I am happy to report it is! the chicken was incredibly tender and lightly breaded. The marinara sauce was spot on....I was tempted to take my straw to the sauce left on my plate. The half portion comes with 2 sides and makes a nice meal. My fiance ordered the southern fried chicken sandwich and fries. He said it was outstanding...and he is hard to please! We ordered desserts to go for later today...dole whip cheese cake and 5 layer lemon cream cake. Can't wait to try them. During our meal, Leesa shared the story of the restaurant as well as their cooking philosophy. We will definitely be back....many times, I am sure!!!Dietary restrictions: Everything is cooked to order. They can accommodate special requests.

Fantastic tasting food, really friendly staff that took time with us and didn't feel rushed. The place was really busy but you could see every table was still getting a fair amount of attention. Would defiantly return. A kitchen of passion!

This resturant is clean,cute and inviting as soon as you walk in the door. My party was sat promptly, we were told they are a FULLY from scratch kitchen and it's not easy to find a kitchen that puts so much passion into their food. Our server and the service she provided was very kind and punctual.DrinksCherry PepsiPepsi is offered on the menu but our server offered to make cherry. I know it's typically grenadine put into a glass of Pepsi and not a thing to brag about. Usually the grenadine is too heavy in the soda and you taste nothing but syrup.They seem to make the cherry Pepsi with care. I had 2 cups and each glass tasted the same with a very subtle but perfect hint of cherry taste. Our server refilled our cups with a pitcher. This leads me to belive they actually put care into making that Pepsi batch taste the same each time and wasn't over powered with syrup. They also put a Maraschino cherry in the glass.This kind of service stands out to me as a guest and as a service industry worker myself. That was a glass of soda they could have carelessly dumped syrup into it but they didn't. They took the extra care to give the experiance more quality and that is truly appreciated! That glass of cherry Pepsi became more then just a glass of cherry Pepsi in my eyes.AppetizerBruschettait was DELICIOUS! The amount of flavor packed into such a simple dish was mind blowing. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy the Italian bread was nice and toasted with a great garlic flavor. The way the bruschetta was prepared made the bread have a ,juicy fall apart in your mouth taste,although still maintaining a nice crunch. ( forgot to get a picture I was so excited to eat)EntréeI had the Chicken Collini (comes with a side and salad) It is breaded chicken breast sautéed in olive oil. That gave the chicken a light ,crunchy crust. The chicken was very juicy and great quality . It was topped with lump crab meat and artichoke hearts with a lemon pepper cream sauce. The very first bite of the dish made my mouth water , my taste buds were going crazy tasting each ingredient put into that dish. You can taste how much effort is put into the food and quality of meal they want a guest to enjoy.For my salad I picked the creamy gorgonzola dressing. The salad was fresh and the dressing was very flavorful, the gorgonzola taste was perfect and not overbearing . In my experiance gorgonzola I've had has over powered the taste to anything else accompanying it. They did a great job balancing the amount of gorgonzola to dressing.My side was an upgrade to Mac and cheese it was by far the best mac and cheese I've had ! Even beating out my grandmother's which I've loved since a young child. It was well sauced and baked with cheese on top. Amazing flavor and perfectly cooked noodles!*Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich (dipped in Buffalo)The chicken breast breading was flavorful , the bun was toasted as well. Just a bite into the sandwich and again more mouth watering flavor and crunch! The fries are unique in the aspect of how they're cut , very delicious and crispy!I was so full I had to get half of my food to take with me. You know you're eating quality food when you're so full you can't finish a plate . I will add I'm writing this review the same day I visited. It is almost 5 hours after eating and I don't have a hint of hunger right now to eat the left overs I want so bad !My experience at some places have left me with no take home food an unsatisfied stomach and then I need a snack in a few hours!Dessert (togo)Today they had strawberry shortcake cheese cake and a 5 layer cinnamon roll cake. I can't resist a cheesecake but I will add I am a very picky cheesecake person. I've had some of the best homemade cheesecake and I swore I'd never find something better . Well needless to say Al an Ruben's made me eat my own words with that statement.Their cheesecake is absolutely delcatable,delicate, light, airy and flavorful.

Oh my gosh, come hungry! Small place with just enough parking, straight into the bar/waiting area. If you have more than 4, get a reservation. I didn't realize with it being a 'bar & grill's that it was Italian.The portions are large. We had a type of cheese sandwich app. Holy moly, too good! Melted grilled mozzarella breaded, deep fried, served in a Parmesan cream sauce. Yes, it was rich & filling, but I couldn't not eat it. I had Bolognese - it was hearty, full of flavor, properly cooked thin spaghetti. Hubby had homemade gnocchi with meat sauce. They were light, soft & delicious. The menu was fairly typical Italian, plus the entree of the day. I have a feeling anything we ordered would be delicious, generous & worth it.We chose 4 layer lemon cake & deep dish apple pie - made in house! Save room! Put this one on your save list.
