The wait staff is great. They are very knowledgeable about the dishes and make good recommendations.Kid-friendliness: Our daughter has been going there since it opened and she gets a plain burger and fries. She is very picky but likes going here.

I ordered the mama's alfredo with shrimp and it was really good. We also ordered the cheese bread which was also tasty.In my opinion, they could make the restaurant a little more cozy and give a slight more Italian feel. But my partner said if they did that, they would possibly lose out on the bar scene a little.We went on Valentine's day and even though they had a special for it, they didn't decorate the tiniest bit - not even on the tables. If you're going to offer a Valentine's special, set the scene a bit too.Otherwise, it was very good and we like that they offer a kid's menu. Maybe sometime we will take our kids or just go off by ourselves again.

Great restaurant with large portions. I split a plate with my wife. It costs an extra $5, but you get an additional salad or soup and bread. Service was good, like that everyone helps out at all tables.

Our server could brighten anyone’s day. The food was good and well presented. The sauce could have used a little more oregano and garlic, but now I am just getting picky. Otherwise, this place deserves a five.

My first time here. The food was fabulous. The prices are reasonable. However, it was right before Halloween. Some of the staff was dressed in costume, some were not. The place was busy. We were greeted at our table quickly but the "vibe" of the staff was off. It just felt very ackward and uncomfortable. We felt like the staff had just been reprimanded and afraid to do anything else wrong. They went through the motions of customer service but it was not genuine and you could feel it. We couldn't wait to get out of there.Hope to give it one more try.
