This food was excellent - we had 5 moms out celebrating birthdays - we had the spaghetti bolognese, the pepperoni pizza, the margarita pizza, brisselsprouts, burrata and 2 desserts! All of it was excellent !! We will be going back. I’m a huge pizza snob and this pizza was fantastic - also, the Brussels pouts are a must try and the dessert with the cookie crust

Wonderful evening with superb service. We had a group of 8 women and they were very accomodativv bf with separate checks , quick service and healthy food options. Of course , the wine flights were fantastic and one woman didn’t know what she wanted so our server came up with the perfect “sweet white” flight. Performers were a little loud but was great that they had live music. Perfect night and venue.
