This place surpassed my expectations, for sure. We were seated upstairs and really enjoyed the ambiance. It was a little loud, but for a Friday night I guess that's expected. I love how the upstairs was decorated and it was cozy, but still spacious. There was probably room for about 50-60 to be seated on that level. There was a bar area, but we sat at a table for 4 behind the bar. Our waiter was informative and helpful. He offered a sincere apology when we had to wait a few minutes longer than expected for our drinks. We ordered pizza and pasta and that was not a mistake- you must try both! The pasta was so fresh and flavorful and the pizza had a nice crispy crust. The one thing that stuck out to both of us during this meal was the manager involvement on the upper-level. He was re-filling drinks, taking plates, and did what he could to keep everything running smoothly, it seemed. I was going to give it 4 stars but the extra bump was for the manager's participation and team-player attitude. We will for sure return.
