| - Went to this place for this first time on Saturday and it definitely won't be the last time. The staff are very kind and are very welcoming. Our party had ordered some appetizers but a kitchen "glitch" had occurred so our waitress (Tanya, who is amazing!) came to us to explain that they will be served with our meals. She was very apologetic about it and even offered to cover the apps herself. We were all saying that her sincere apology was enough but for her to offer to cover the apps was just really kind of her. On top of that, (who I believe was) the Manager also came to our table to apologize. All this happened early in the night and already we were impressed.
[Beverages]
Sangria - Not a big fan of sangria but this one was very very good. It was actually made instead with pineapple juice which is probably why I liked this one. If I didn't have the same tolerance for alcohol as a slug, then I would've had my own glass rather than just take sips.
[Starters]
Onion Chips - If you like the Blooming Onion at food festivals, you may also like this. It's a lot lighter and comes with some kind of dip that looked and tasted like chipotle mayo. I didn't have much only because it wasn't my order, and I tried it much later when it had already cooled down. I would assume it's much better tasting when it's fresh. 4/5
Ahi Tuna Wontons - Hands down, one of the best apps I've ever tasted. Not overly flavoured but was flavoured enough. If you want a lighter meal, I'd recommend this one. Maybe get another side to go with it. 5/5

BBQ Chicken Pizza - Other than the BBQ Chicken Pizza at CPK (California Pizza Kitchen), this one is very good, maybe even better since the pizzas are baked in a coal fired oven. Crust is nice and crispy and the kicker or the "icing on the cake" with this pizza would be the roasted corn. 5/5
Neptune Pizza - If you love seafood, I highly recommend this pie. It comes with tiger shrimp and smoked salmon. Garnished with fresh arugula, capers that roast nicely and drizzled with a nice balsamic. It is by far one of the best pies I've ever tasted. I'd go back just for this pizza. 5+/5
Penne A La Vodka - Big serving of this very simple pasta dish. Had a pretty good ratio between the pasta itself and the chicken and mushroom. Had the right amount of cheese as well so it wasn't overly rich. 4/5
BBQ Baby Back Ribs - A great meal for a big meat eater. Ribs were perfectly prepared as it was quite tender and just fell off the bones. The sauce was also very nice though it could've used a little more flavouring. Otherwise, it was still very very good. 5/5
Mushroom Linguini - My friend ordered this dish and she opted out of the bacon so SHE lost some brownie points with me. The dish on the other hand was very tasty with the right amount of heat. Definitely something I'd order myself in one of my future visits. 4/5
