Anniversary dinner with my husband, teen daughter, sister, and parents. Dad is in a wheelchair, mom is gluten free and dairy free (I’m also dairy free). AMAZING accommodation and service. Server Cassidy was on top of the food allergens all night and they sat us at a round table to accommodate the wheelchair without it sticking out. Friendly staff and food was phenomenal. We all left so full and thankful. Will definitely be returning and recommend it to anyone looking for excellent food and even better service!

A night out before a show. Most of us have never been to Grappa. We decided to give grappa, the drink, a try. Our amazing waiter, Ryan, gave us a great education about grappa. It wasn't what we anticipated, and we were still curious, so he offered us all a tasting. The food came quick and was plenty to share and take some home. It was a little chilly, but other than that, it was a great place for a fun dinner.
