    Everything went perfect. Seated immediately, we had a reservation, bread and drinks arrived quickly. Our server was very nice. The noise level was fine, food was good. Will definitely go again.

    The food was decent. American Italian. Very busy so service wasn’t the fastest. Watched a waitress drop a napkin on the floor and set it back on a table. Also watched as the staff whipped down the chair seats then whipped down the table top with the same exact rag, no cleaning products involved. Thought it was weird and pretty unsanitary.

    All dishes were bland . Portion sizes OK. Very loud and decor seems worn out.

    This is my favourite place to eat in St. John’s. our server was kind and food was brought out extremely fast considering we were a big table. Can’t wait to go dine there again
