    This is a hidden gem. The food is incredible. It is unique and delicious. We ordered martinis (top notch), appetizers, soup, pizza, desert and cappuccinos. Everything was on point. It was fresh and yummy. The service is amazing. We absolutely loved everything about this place. If you want to have a great meal, without the extra show, this is the place. We will be back without a doubt.

    The food was alright, but the service was incredibly slow. I think the kitchen might have been to blame. Two tables walked out due to the wait. When our food arrived, one of the dishes was a little cold and our Benedict came with the hollandaise broken, which is not the rookie level cooking we expected from this place. I’m surprised they served it to us.
