    We reserved a table for dinner, but was seated at a high top table which was super close to the door and counter where deliveries were being made and picked up. I didn’t mind, but I wanted a quieter table, it was colder as we were one table away from the door. Place was cozy, but needs more space for dinner. Not a fan of tall tables for a dinner.

    Dear Anasha, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I apologize that your time with us didn’t meet your expectations. I remember your party that evening, and I'm sorry to hear that you weren’t pleased with your table. I wish you had let me know you were still uncomfortable; I would have been happy to move you to the lower table in the dining room that I recommended. It was indeed a chilly night, and I believed that switch would enhance your experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon for a better experience.

    It seemed as though the restaurant cared more about quantity over quality. From the moment we sat down it felt as though we were being rushed out so the next table could be set up and served. What we had thought was going to be a nice dinner out ended up being over with in less than an hour. While I do sometimes appreciate speedy service, it is the opposite of what we expected for this type of restaurant. Maybe we misread the type of restaurant this is, but it felt ended up feeling like a night out at Olive Garden. We came here to try the viral pasta flight, but almost all of the pasta sauces were very bland. It was also disappointing for the price that we paid as it was nearly $90 after tip for the pasta flight, an appetizer, and two non alcoholic drinks.

    Dear Owen, We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with us last night didn’t meet expectations. We always aim to ensure that our guests feel welcomed & comfortable. It’s certainly not our intention to rush anyone through their meal, and it’s possible that my staff, in their desire to provide excellent service, may have made you feel this way. As the manager on the floor last night, I did check in with you and it seemed everything was going well at the time. However, I wish you had brought your concerns to my attention during your visit so that we could have addressed them and worked to make your experience more enjoyable. We’d love to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon and ensure a more positive experience for you and your guest. TJ Cecire General Manager

    I honestly had an incredible time. Me and my boyfriend went for valentine’s day knowing we already wanted to try the famous pasta flight! The manager in charger was so nice and came to out table a few times to make sure everything was okay. It was such a nice environment. I cannot wait to go back and tell everyone how great my dinner was.
