I like the ambiance and food, but the prices are high and the wine list is hit or miss. Pizza is very good, this is a good spot before a show at the Masonic

Great food and service. Got seated right away as we arrived for our reservation. Server was very helpful and informative. Wine options were solid with good variety for a short list but a little on the pricier side, but not toooo pricey (think $80-150 for bottles). Loved the bottle we went with. Tons of great menu options, even if you’re not in the mood for pizza. Opted for 2x pizzas instead of snacks or other mains. Burnt Leek was pretty incredible, Hot Honey also good. Definitely coming back to try other stuff.

It’s a cute restaurant and is perfect for date night or a girls dinner. However, the food and drinks both took exceptionally long to come out and the food was mediocre and overpriced. Good ambiance. Probably won’t go back.

Dined for a double date last evening with a reservation. Highlights were the octopus and mixed salad appetizers but hope to return and try the other share plates! We ordered three pizzas - one comment is that the sausage pizza was a bit underwhelming as the toppings kept sliding off and the cheese was not melted enough. Everything else was good!
