First of all I thought the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming! We were celebrating our anniversary and they made it feel special. The rigatoni really stood out and will be a must order for us in the future - it had the perfect level of spice and warmth in flavor. The chips and dip were a fun appetizer to start with and were priced perfectly. We’ll definitely be back!

The holiday decor is amazing. Service was great. Service and someone else who checked in on us were friendly and attentive. We went after the holiday for brunch so it was a little quiet for the neighborhood. I;m sure it's more lively at other times. A few normal breakfast type items and a few kinda sweet breakfast items. I had a nice mocktail.
