Overpriced wine, house wine at $22 glass seemed a bit much. Horrible service at 6:30 pm Saturday night. Barely saw the server, Host told me to go on back to table 24, to which I replied what is table 24? Seemed like a very off night at best.

Sunday for brunch: Unfortunately for them the place was empty so very quiet. This was our second time. We comeback for we enjoyed their food. Best value get a bottle sparkling wine for $22 and glasses of juice to make your own mimosa. Disappointment Eggs Benedict: English muffin was a biscuit and ham was a little salty for our taste.

It was a Friday evening, so it was crowded and they may have been short staffed. But it took a very long time to order and bet 2 rounds of drinks from the bar. One of the hostesses step in to serve our table, so great job by her. Other than the wait our experience was very good.

Sadly this location doesn't get it. Lights in dining room are insane bright for dinner. Pizza is average. Salads are solid if a bit small and drinks are refreshing. Place was completely dead at 8 on a Saturday night. Not going to last apparently. No great loss.

Very nice server however the scallops were super small, and came out much later than everyone else’s food. We ordered two desserts and received one then waited for the s’mores only to be told they were out. We ordered donuts as a substitution. The food we had was delicious!

Overall experience was very good. Upon arrival, the bar area was very busy and loud. Was concerned about where we would be seated but requested to be away from bar and was accommodated. The back area of the restaurant was not very busy at all. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive throughout our evening. We had an artichoke as an appetizer that was very good. Three of us had different pizzas and one had a salad with salmon. All entrees were enjoyed with some leftovers to take home. There was a strawberry shortcake special for dessert so we shared two of those. Tasty but nothing to write home about. Would not order that again. To be fair, we wouldn't have had it not been a special/promo. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. Good company, good food and nice atmosphere.

Experience was ok, food isn't as good as it used to be. I used to brag about Matchbox Margherita pizza, but now it's so thin and bland.

We ordered calamari, which we all enjoyed. I ordered a margherita pizza, and my boyfriend got a pepperoni pizza, which were both disappointing. The margherita pizza had almost no sauce on it, and looked like a pizza crust with cheese on it, sprinkled with basil. The pepperoni pizza had burnt pepperonis, and was also lacking in sauce.
