    Varied menu with many options. Gluten free options as well. Food tasty and prepared well. Service was very good. Outside tables are nicely spaced and comfortable. Heaters worked well. Unfortunately every table is by a speaker and the manager was willing to reduce the volume a little and that was barely tolerable. For this reason I will only do take out in the future. The noise level of the music made it very difficult to comfortably talk and fully relax. Who enjoys this level of music while dining?!

    We love going to speakeasys and this one was a great find. It was a little bit loud for our taste but still a great experience. Victoria, our server, was fantastic! She was super energetic and very knowledgeable on the drink selections!

    My boyfriend and I went for a date night and had a wonderful time. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas, it was stunning!! I had the ricotta ravioli and my boyfriend had the armericano pizza, which we both pretty much devoured. We had the apple crumble for dessert, which was delicious. I had two Christmas themed cocktails. The service was great. The bussers were so quick to grab our dirty plates out of the way, and were friendly. Our server was also very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. I will definitely be returning!
