| - I read all the reviews for this place, so I was super excited to go Monday night. Sadly, I was little bummed when I left.
The restaurant is set up nicely and it's absolutely beautiful inside. I love the distressed wood, the cozy lighting and all the windows. I also think the bar in the shape of a half-moon in the front of the restaurant is a nice focal point when you walk in; however, if you are trying to congregate with a group of friends at the bar, this is hard to do. You can't really stand in a crowd because you are by the door- so people are constantly having to squeeze through to get to their seats. But in some ways that nice because it's gives the restaurant a friendly feel. If my review were for ambiance only, it would have 4 to 5 stars.
The service was okay. It was Monday night and it was not crowded. While I was with about 7 people, the restaurant was pretty bare. For that reason, I don't think the service was anything to brag about. The waiter was nice, but not as attentive as I believe he could have been.
As for the food, eh. The prices and quantities aren't bad, but I've had better pizza. We ordered the Prosciutto pizza, but there just wasn't a lot of flavor there. The over-reigning flavor was really the crust, which was slightly burnt. My friends got the calzones, which they seemed to really like. I also ordered the chopped salad, for the size, I do not think it is worth $9. It was more the size of a side salad, yet only $3 cheaper than a pizza. That doesn't really make sense.
Overall, I think I would go back-- I'm just not going to expect greatness. The food isn't horrible, but it's also not great. I really wanted to like this place, but sadly it's forgettable.
