   The prices have gone up significantly and the service has gone down. We had to ask to have our table cleared and for setups. The priority seating is a great idea. The only salvation was that the hostess offered us free desserts to make up for our inconvenience..

   I would prefer to have an actual reservation rather than priority waitlist. It seems kind of silly to me. With that said we have twice been there on Saturday nights and the place is a kid fest and extremely noisy. Overall though they were all well behaved. Unfortunately we waited about an hour for our pizza as they did not have enough oven capacity for the volume. Our pizza was stacked up like an airplane waiting it’s turn for oven time. We like the food but we will probably not go back there on a Saturday night.

   I didn’t see any great benefit to priority seating. We still waited about 15 minutes.

   Great food and service, making a reservation is mostly pointless, they roll people in and out pretty fast and with a reservation we still had to wait.

    We went prior to a movie so we had limited time but our server made sure our food came out as quickly as possible and was readily available to refill drinks, etc. Pizzas were great but the shrimp scampi plate seemed rather small. It seemed like a lunch serving!
