    The food is amazing! I’ve loved everything I’ve ever tried here. Tonight I got the pesto chicken pasta and it was delicious. One of my friends got the butternut squash ravioli and another friend got the seafood pasta. Both friends also loved their dinners. Whitney was our server and she was amazing. Very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. This is one of my favorite dinner spots.

    Our favorite restaurant, food is fantastic, the waitress Kim was awesome. Even though it was a Friday night and busy, it was still an incredible evening. Highly recommend.
