Second time we have been there, both times for dinner, one weekday and one weekend. Both times a disappointment. Then fun “vibe” we see on IG we must be getting unlucky because it’s pretty dead and quiet there. Food is decent but nothing has jumped out as outstanding.

We are at the bar and Tommy the bartender was amazing. Best in class service. We were celebrating a birthday and he made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The food and drink were equally as amazing.

Food was pretty good. Came to celebrate my fiancés 22nd with some of her friends and they had a great time. Drinks were very good. Fire eater/dancer and music give an amazing memorable experience. Definitely will recommend

Excellent meal. We ordered gnocci appetizer, personal margerita pizza, and pesto with chicken and shrimp. Each was really excellent. Our only issue was that this provided too much food and we had to take home "doggie bags." Everything was just as good next day but less ambience than at the restaurant. Will certainly be going back soon.
