   The service was excellent. We ate outside because the noise level inside would have made it impossible to talk. The appetizers were fine. The main courses inedible. Stick to the appetizers and salads.

   Lasagna portion was large and did not stay hot or warm through the meal. By the time I broke into the middle it was cool. I was not going to finish it anyway so took it to go home. Asked for bread. Not usually included but I was brought a bowl with 3 thin slices. Nothing tasty. A nice warm bread, garlic bread or roll would have been more welcome. Ambiance was clean and modern but not warm and inviting. Bring cash unless you want to pay a 3% up charge to use a credit card. There is an ATM on site.

   I brought one of my friends to celebrate his birthday on Saturday since he had never been there, and it's one of my favorite spots. I started off with my usual Lavendar martini, and he had a beer. I can't remember which beer though since I'm not a beer drinker. I then ordered my usual appy of the cheesesteak eggrolls, and he had the shrimp pompeii. We both ordered the angel hair with crab, but I always switch up the sauce with alfredo sauce...yummy. We ended with the birthday boy ordering the sorbet trio for deserrt. The food and service were great as usual. I meant to get our servers name because she was fantastic. Our reservation was at 5:30, so if you know who our server was, she was great

   Last night my hubby and I enjoyed a delicious meal there. We'd never been and had been given a GC from a friend over the holidays-it is lovely inside-very modern, clean and sleek inside with nice outdoor seating as well. We chose to sit inside and were treated to delicious Apps, drinks, entrees and dessert. We both loved our meals. There was a glitch at the end and the restaurant handled it so well they gained 2 very happy customers whom will happily return.

    Everyone was nice. The honey ricotta was delicious. I ordered the beet salad and my wife ordered the cranberry salad. Both salads were unremarkable. The beet salad was $14 plus an extra $6 for 4 small pieces of cocktail shrimp. The shrimp wasn’t grilled or blackened. It was just plain, like someone took them from a shrimp ring at a party. The whole experience was really average with a high price tag.

    Chicken piccata- chicken was under cooked- sent it back and it was remade. Margarita pizza was bland. Kids chicken fingers were generous portion and tasty. Service was ok but a little hands off. Food comes out as it’s ready. Both chicken parm and chicken piccata came out about 3 minutes after we ordered which implies that it was sitting ready and not made to order. I probably won’t go back anytime soon.

    The pasta was coated in garlic and onion. It was not supposed to have either. The whole l order was originally lost so it took quite awhile for the food to even arrive. The appetizer ended up being what we ate for dinner since the pasta was horrible. The drink order arrived midway through dinner. It was forgotten 3x.

    The Food was good, we had Veal Marcela and a Angel Hair Pasta with Crab. The entrees were fair, the drinks are on the higher side. We ate outside (our choice) view is the parking lot, ( keep in mind) Wattress was very helpful with description of entrees; Overall will return.

    I've been to the restaurant on several occasions and never had this level of fair service. The waiter forgot several items throughout the night and needed to be reminded of various items. I wanted to split the parties check with another guest and was told only 1 card. Not true cause I've split previous bills. Not good experience for my guest who have never dined at the location previous.

    This was another 4.5 star experience. Service was excellent for a very busy night, and the value was excellent (portion/price etc.) As someone who is very critical of food, I was pleased with the quality though it fell short of exceptional (we had appetizers, pizza, pasta dishes as well as entrees). Pizzas were the best of the bunch, followed by the pastas and entrees. It was very good, regardless, and I would go again based on the food alone. Also the bar has an excellent wine and liquor selection (they had midrange bourbon choices as well as Anitca vermouth, which is a must for me). This is a lively and loud restaurant that is great for a fun night out or a group dinner. It is NOT a romantic ambience kind of place. We were celebrating a graduation and they even accommodated serving our own cake (which we hadn’t planned for, but the weather caused a shift in plans). All in all a great time.

    Our group of 8 was celebrating a family reunion. Our early reservation allowed us to sit outside, under shade. Our server, Gina, was attentive and the food arrived promptly. Lots of choices to satisfy a large group.

    Omg delish! I’ve to the center city location before and loved it, but this one is closer to me so I wanted to it a try. The ricotta board was fan-flipping-tastic! Delish gnocchi (could’ve used more parm, but I forgot to ask), and my friend loved his pepperoni pizza. Will definitely be coming back! The salted caramel pretzel martini was so good, so strong too!

    I've been coming here for a couple of years, and each time I've been here, approximately 7 times, it has declined in overall food quality and taste. Disappointing. But, I will try again, maybe they will see this and go back to their original 4 star destination, cuisine and service.

    The food was good. The acoustics were not so much, with the noise level much higher than a normal conservation level. Also, be aware that management adds a 3.5% surcharge for credit card use.
