Definitely worth going. Everything from as soon as we walked in to when we left. The staff was on point on every aspect from greetings, friendly, to the knowledge of the food and drinks. Portions were very good. It was just enough where you were not leaving feeling hungry. Prices to me were on point not expensive. Atmosphere and Decor was nice. Highly recommend this place. Definitely will be back.

Honestly, this was an amazing spot for a birthday, I should know because there were seven other birthdays that were happening around me and with good reason between the atmosphere and the music and the food (that does take a little while to come out but i think they’re trying to liquor you up a little lol) it was just such a great time! The manager made sure we were good and taken care of TWICE and i definitely would 100% come back here! (I made numerous changes to this reservation due to people and life lol but not once did they make it an issue) They sat us quickly too!

We went with a party of 4 for Friday night pizza. Love the thin crust, with lots of toppings to choose from. The hot antipasto for 4 was delicious, really different sauce on the calamari and mussels that was creamy and very tasty! Our waitress, Desiree, couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Because the main room was kind of noisy and one person has an issue hearing, we sat on the bar side which was much quieter. A nice cosy corner. We will be back soon!
