| - Pretty good! We were here for an early dinner on a Friday night on Friday, June 12th and we had a great time. Probably not the best place if you have very small kids because the space is quite tight, the chairs won't comfortably seat smaller kids and it's a bit loud.
Our server was very nice and really went out of his way to chat with each of us (me, hubby, and two kids) and recommend dishes that everyone would enjoy.
What was good:
- Server....he really made a big difference. I'm so sorry I forgot his name (his fault really, he recommended the bottle of wine and pizza deal and half a bottle really addles the brain!)
- Dessert....we had the salted caramel thingie in a mason jar....it was very good, excellent really even though I cannot stand salty desserts. We also had the dark chocolate tart which has doubly awesome - it's not all dark chocolate, almost half the plate was the Nutella mousse so if you are not a fan of dark chocolate/bitter, order it...it's pretty mild.
- Pizza was great, loved the cheese, crust and everything on it. Must be the handmade dough.
- I added salmon to my salad and it was pretty much the best I've had...ever.
What was meh...
- I was looking forward to the from-scratch pasta and it was kinda blah. I make my own pasta and look for restaurants that offer handmade pasta and surprisingly, their bolognese was not great. It was good...just maybe a victim of overly high expectations?
- Ceasar salad had no anchovies....boo
- Servings were a bit small, fine for our family with small kids but if you have a teenager, you might have to double up. Prices were very reasonable so it's ok.
Only one black mark really...their hostess needs to go. Unfriendly, no eye contact, no smile, people waiting for a greeting while she looks at the dining room (for what?), and the overall, "we're busy, you wait" attitude. This was to my party, an older couple ahead of us, and a small group who drifted in from the bar. It really sets the servers up for a bumpy start.
