Server was attentive and frequently checked in our our group (of 7). Vibe of the place was very laid back when we sat down around 4, and noise level was low enough to carry on conversations without having to ask someone to repeat themselves Food was great - pizza was exceptional, I recommend the truffalo chicken

Hadn’t been in for a while. The food has transformed from good into excellent. Plus the A-game service made for a mood changing experience that will have us returning much sooner. Stuffed Mushrooms, Wedding Soup, entrees and sides were spot on. The kitchen is to be commended.
