    Our server was wonderful and the food was amazing - pistachio salmon especially. Feels like a special event. Ambiance was like a nice business lunch in New York..been a while but you get what I mean. Linen tablecloths, positive upbeat vibes, welcoming host, great service. Ok, maybe not like NY, exactly, lol

    The food and service was excellent - I'd go back just for the bread and even to sit in Jerome's section. He was fantastic - very attentive, knowledgeable and considerate of everyone. And the food - wow. We all raved about what we ordered, from the ravioli to risotto to the complimentary bread. The only negative was the noise level - it was very loud and I felt like I almost had to yell to talk to our party or would ask them to repeat what they said. Despite the noise, I would not hesitate to return for lunch.

    A nice new addition to Open Table. A little pizza dive close to Loring Park festivities or the convention hotel scene. The one size 16 inch pizza is definatley enough to feed four, or half to take home for later! They do sell by the slice too.The 5 Meat Medley was loaded, I just wish it had more sauce. I loved the bacon crumble on it. Sometime, I would love to try their chicken . Staff are keepers.
