    Overall had a terrific experience and would absolutely come back. The food was delicious and the vibe was immaculate. It was also decorated so well and I loved the outdoor fire pits. My only critique is that the service felt very rushed. We were here on a Friday night so it was crowded. We had a 5:45 reservation and we didn’t get seated until 6:05 because our table hadn’t left yet. It wasn’t a big deal and we sat by the fire pit while waiting. However, while we were enjoying our appetizers and drinks, we were asked multiple times if they could clear the table. We said we were still working. They then brought our pasta out while we were still working on the apps. Didn’t love that. After dinner though, we did hang out and they didn’t rush us out which I appreciated. Would definitely go back to try more food and enjoy the ambiance!

    I reserved a table for 4 to celebrate my daughters birthday. The atmosphere was nice. The food was fantastic. Table was ready when we arrived. The prices were very reasonable. May I also add that our waiter Joe N. Was outstanding. He was extremely attentive, had a great sense of humor, and went above and beyond to make our dining experience unbelievable. Also the manager was also extremely attentive to everyone. I would definitely rate the restaurant and staff 10+
