Amazing food! The pesto and spicy vodka was so good! The appetizers were good as well. We got the bruschetta, truffles fries, caprese. The bread they give is soft and the the butter and olive oil. Kid friendly, we took my 2, 18 month old nieces.

I came here on 4 different occasions on a Monday and the restaurant is closed . If you are closed on Monday's , why are your hours of operation not updated ?! That's very misleading . You're closed on Monday's so the sign outside the door and online should say that .

Went here for a party on a Saturday night with a group of over 100 people. There were plenty of servers and staff working, but unfortunately the service felt very disorganized.<br><br>The bar line was extremely long at first until another bartender finally stepped in to help. The food also took a long time to arrive, and when it did, it was pretty chaotic. Each table had around 20-30 people, but meals weren't served together. One table would have half their meals, another would have three-quarters, and at our table it seemed like every other person was getting served while the rest waited.<br><br>The good news is the food was actually very good once it arrived, and there definitely wasn't a shortage of staff. It just seemed like the restaurant needed stronger management and coordination to keep everything flowing, especially for a large event. With better organization, the experience could have been much better.
