Just to set the stage.. I happened to come across this restaurant while I was searching for 'Bolognese', so this review is a... little more weighted on that, but takes everything into consideration. I saw this place was one of the few places that offeredBolognese, so I ordered a helping along with a Meat Lover's Pizza. typically, I'd order a Bacon Pizza, but I was shackled toGrub Hub and the closest option was Meat Lover's. That being said... the Bolognese left me feeling argumentative! A Bologneseis a class of it's own. It's not really a tomato sauce, it's more of a meat sauce. This sauce was accompanied by a small army oftomatoes. There's literally pretty large chunks of tomato upon initial examination, which to me made the think it wasn't goingto be a Bolognese at all. That, however, is due to other restaurants taking advantage of the Bolognese price tag and claiming itfor pasta in marinara. I found it to be a good mix of beef and sausage and it actually compliments the rest of theingredients.. albeit a little heavy on the herbs. It was pleasantly flavorful and outside of the large tomato chunks it waspretty official! For the Meat Lover's Pizza... I love meat and I love pizza! I was torn between 3 and 4 stars for theBolognese, but the pizza made me consider 5 stars! This one one of the best pizza pies I've had in my life, and I'm middle aged!I'm unsure I'd be able to buy it anywhere else ever again. I really wanted to give it 5 stars, but like I mentioned, I came herein search of Bolognese. I still yet considered the elusive 5 star, but where I ordered from GrubHub, it has that checkbox for"Include utensils?" which I checked and got none. That was the final weigh in for me. Overall, pretty good Bolognese, though abit too heavy on a couple ingredients. Pizza is downright unapologetically delicious! However, I ordered soup and Bolognese anddidn't get utensils!! Big hit for a piece of cheap plastic, but that's the name of the game in customer service! Read more
Very good restaurant. Surprisingly busy on a Wednesday at 5:30pm. Almost didn't get a table, but they seated me in what looked... like an overflow area. My fault for not making a reservation. Very good food, good cocktails, friendly service, a little slow,but considering the crowd, efficient. Well worth a visit! Read more
I've been there several times and alway been satisfied. Service is excellent, we often have had Cindy as our waitress and she's... great. When you walk in she remembers you and your choice of refreshment. Also if you sit at the bar, Amy is great and veryattentive. you won't be disappointed. Read more
Definitely an amazing dining experience my family and I had dining here. Their food is consistent and their service second to... none. They don't rush you and allow you to enjoy your courses throughout your dining experience. Their cocktails are all madewith a massive amount of care and love! Phenomenal experience to enjoy.
