   Started off fantastic but ended up a bust! It was our first time trying out this restaurant and our last. We were promptly seated and welcomed with a complimentary glass of Sparkling Rose and table bites. We ordered several apps: 2 pizzas and 3 different apps (we like to try a bit of every thing when we try out a new place) and after waiting ~35 ish mins received our Cheese pizza and my husband’s cocktail. ~10mins later we flag down our waitress to order dinner. Still haven’t received our other appetizers or other pizza. We place our dinner orders and wait a bit longer for our apps. The restaurant does make every thing fresh so we thought that was the reason it was taking extra time even though we ordered a Caesar salad, Focaccia and the Paté. About 15ish mins after we placed our order for our entrees we had to flag down our waitress and asked when we could expect our appetizers. She said “there was a mixup in the kitchen and our appetizers should be right out.” ~15minutes after this we receive our Entrees and there are still no apps. Several minutes after we start eating our entrees our waitress finally comes back to the table and asked “the kitchen wants to know if you still want your appetizers?” Which meant they had still not been made! We said “nope, I guess not”. And she said “okay well I’ll take them off your bill”. Yes that was the least we expected! My husband and I never got a chance to order another drink either. My head was constantly on a swivel trying to find anyone to talk to to ask about our appetizer whereabouts or order a glass of wine. Not one manager stopped by our table or another waiter or waitress. If it wasn’t for the people who refill the waters being on top of their game, we would have had nothing to drink. Our meals were subpar. Ordered the orecchiette which gave me an immediate stomach ache. Had to flag down our waitress to get our bill and she acted like she did us a service taking our apps off the bill. What a joke.

   Well,……the atmosphere wasn’t great,… essentially when the Restrooms are the highlight. The Restaurant feels like a neighbourhood now where to go place so let’s just eat there. Didn’t like having to order all at once as it didn’t allow us to change our minds or to pace our evening on our terms. The “one signature dish they never mess up”,… was flavorless and overcooked. (the Lemon Chicken). We won’t need to go back,…oh the other thing,…they should not have dishes on their website which they don’t serve,….went for the Prawns and ended up with dry chicken.

   Great food and ambiance. They served my date the wrong entree but she was too shy to speak up. When she brought it up, they made her a new order of the correct dish and let her take home the remaining incorrect order.

   Ordered three items-burrata, Brussels sprout salad and the mushroom pizza. First two items were very good - the pizza was not. It was nice to be greeted with a complimentary Prosecco.

   Pretty neighborhood restaurant with outdoor seating that is dog friendly. Food is hit and miss. FYI--This place has a ten page drinks menu and a one page food menu. But it looks like a restaurant.
