"The whole restaurant was just so beautiful. The server (Maddie I think) was really nice and was a complete vibe. I went for my 18th birthday and she signed me up for the lettuce rewards program. The food was phenomenal and the service was really fast, Maddie was very attentive too. Side note, just make sure to make a reservation. She gave me this amazing apple cider sorbet which I would definitely go back and get next time. She made sure to treat us extra well since it was my birthday. I’m definitely coming back. She even let me record my interaction with her on my meta glasses. Also, I forgot to say that she even asked my friend for any allergies and assured that nothing was cross contaminated."

"This place is very cozy — we absolutely loved it! The pizzas were delicious, and what I liked the most is that they felt light, not heavy at all. The pepperoni with honey was AMAZING 🤤. The drinks were also really good. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!"

"Came here on a date night with my cousin and my best friend. I made the reservation two days prior and when we got there we had to check in at the hostess. The area was crowded and the hostess took a phone call as soon as I got up to the desk to check in. No big deal, I am understanding, but it would be a courtesy to have put them on hold since I was there first. The little things I guess. We were seated five minutes late in the outside area which I had to pay extra for during my reservation however the table was just in the covered outdoor area not by the widow which was the impression they gave when I was making the reservation so that was a let down. The inside was decorated so nicely and beautiful. We were seated and our server introduced herself to us right away. Through out the night i think we only saw her 3 times and one of those times was when we told her the Romaine Casear Salad wasnt good.. We started of with drinks and I got the Piazza Colada. It was pretty good and sweet but taste pretty light, not a lot of rum in it.. Just okay for a drink. We ordered the Crispy Parmesan Fries, the Imported Burrata, the Calamari Fritti and the Romaine Caesar Salad. The Crispy Parmesan Fries were cooked perfectly, had delicious seasoning and were such a good value for the price! The Imported Burrata was such high quality and the apples were amazingly! The Calamari Fritti was also great quality and fried perfectly, I just wish they would have given us more lemons or a bigger lemon for it. The Tomain Casear was not good. I dont think they mixed it in the kitchen. It tasted like watery old lettuce too.. it was under whelming. For dinner we ordered Italian Sausage and Fennel Pizza and the Speghetti Limone with shrimp. The Italian Sausage and Fennel Pizza was amazing! I would come back just for it! So good cooked perfectly and also felt like a light dish but also so luxurious because it felt like such high quality. And the Speghetti Limone had really good flavor but the pasta was kind of tossed onto the sauce and not really mixed in so a few bites were underwhelming. And the pasta had some noodels clump together so we had to pull some nooodles apart. And it was served with a large fork but no spoon so serving it was a bit difficult.The shrimp was cooked perfectly though I wish we had gotten more! Overall great food, some dishes fell short"
