We were seated on time and immediate attention was given by the server. Loved the waitress who answered questions and gave help on the menu items. Food was fantastic and we had a variety of meals from chicken to pizza to eggplant. The salads are big and need to be shared with someone. Pizzas are about 14 inches and can easily be shared. I highly recommend this restaurant. I also noticed that the manager is on site checking on things. It was a very pleasant experience.

Decided to meet with friends whom we had known for some 30 years and happened to be in St. Louis on a trip. Some of the group had been experiencing medical problems and it was great to just meet and enjoy fellowship again. A great place to gather, spend some time, and not feel rushed. Food was excellent and staff was suberb.
