The ambiance is great, it wasn't very busy because we were early birds. You kinda need to know what you're getting before you're next up in line, though... be prepared to tell them what you want, and don't expect much assistance from the staff with your menu selections. I was hoping this would be an Italian variation on the Cava Mezze Grille theme, but was a little let down. The pesto angel hair pasta bowl, despite my loading it up with extra ingredients, wasn't very interesting, being pretty much just another big ol' bowl of pasta. Suppose I'd better try a power salad bowl the next time.
