This is a really cute neighborhood type place; I think the reviews were lacking detail when we researched it and we thought it was a much fancier restaurant/more formal atmosphere. It's an adorable place for drinks and lunch, but was hoping for more for our evening. The waitstaff was fabulous and the food good. We had the cheeseburger which was huge and delish, the pork belly with pasta which was good. It's a kind of quirky, downtown, old house made into a restaurant with outside seating as well as inside. The place is small, but cute.

We had a great experience here. It was our anniversary, and we were given a card signed by the staff congratulating us. The sushi was excellent and the service was top notch. Ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent as well.

First time and experienced 10/10. Maggie was our server and she was so great! We shared the pineapple pizza. And had the Giovanna Lemon drops. Garlic knots were killer. We all split the Greek salad too! Fantastic night can’t wait to go back.
