    Went for Sunday brunch with friends. Food was very good, but service very spotty. My mimosa did not arrive until after entree. Husband’s entree was incorrectly delivered, so he had to wait for the correct entree to be prepared. Total bill was incorrect and had to be fixed. On the positive side, management was very apologetic and comped the drinks. We will return because of food quality and friendly ambience.

    We were celebrating two birthdays and the staff was genuinely nice about it. The food is always excellent and they are great about being allergen friendly. Thanks!

    I’ve been here a few times and it’s been great in the past but there was a shocking lack of salt in the food this time which was disappointing. We had to add salt to every dish but the meatballs (the meatballs have always been fantastic.)

    It was our first time at this location and we would like to say we were very impressed with an outstanding service and menu offerings! Top notch service from our waitress Georgia and very professional on point management from Vadim.  Try prix fixe menu at $36! Super deal for the area! Recommended highly!

    Food is good, portions are smaller than you would expect for the price though. Very cool setting.
