As someone who works in hospitality and has dined here before it was ok. Food was mediocre and service was ok. Nothing was explained, no specials were brought up. Nothing was suggested, honestly it was a little dissatisfying.

The restaurant has great food, fun ambiance, great service but alas-the Short Pour. Ugh. So frustrating when you pay $15 for a glass of wine and you get 4 ounces. I would love to go back… but just can’t see giving them my business again for a one-inch high drink. Disappointing.

It was too cold outside- heaters don’t all work and they don’t have the door closer. We waited for 23 minutes for drinks- slow, aloof service- heater ran out- we let the nearest staff member know it ran out. Which turned out to be the owner. And sadly had to make a second request as he came out with the next tables win instead of a new propane tank. Food was great - but the tent was too cold and service didn’t make up for the cold tent.

Everything we had was seriously so amazing. I had the Cavatelli with Monday Sauce and my husband had the Chicken Parmesan. We also ordered the Margarita pizza and that was also delicious. This is our top date spot as the service is wonderful and the atmosphere is quiet! ✨
