    Wait time was less than 5 minutes. It was great. Nicely decorated for the holiday. Carolers were a nice touch. Service was great. Rebecca our server was wonderful! Very helpful and attentive. Serving food size was plentiful. Only negatives were our table was near the back door to igloos and it was opened and closed hundreds of times and let in chilly air. A curtain was up but didn’t totally help. Also waiters and waitresses were running back and forth. Actually running! Not a good look. Also one other thing our food was heavily salted which we did not care for. But on the other hand our bread was flavorless. But all in all it was a nice holiday experience.

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. I’m glad you enjoyed the quick seating, festive atmosphere, carolers, and that Rebecca took such good care of you—she really is wonderful! I’m sorry about the chilly air and that our waiters were running. I did notice that you ordered a salad and a cauliflower pizza which contains pesto. Pesto can sometimes taste saltier than expected, and we understand flavors are subjective. As for the bread, I tried it myself that evening and agreed it wasn’t as flavorful as it should’ve been. We’ve already updated our bread starting today to make sure it meets our usual standards! We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance. We’re always working to improve and provide an even better experience on your next visit.

    Thank you so much for choosing our igloo dining for your Christmas dinner! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the cozy setup, the lasagna, eggplant rollatini, and those must-try empanadas. I know the time limit can sneak up on you—we truly wish we had a bigger space so we could offer longer seating times! Still, I’m glad you and your friends had a great night of good food and service. Can’t wait to have you back again!

    This was our second visit during the holiday season. The igloos and Christmas decorations coupled with holiday music set the tone only to be outdone by the delicious Italian food. A must for adding the true feel to a delightful lunch or dinner.

    The host (possibly owner wasn’t sure) was absolutely hospitable, kind, genuine and pleasant. Exactly what you want on a night out with family and friends. Warm ambience, beautiful seasonal decor for the holidays, happiness, cheer, delicious food and I rated the noise level quiet as I ate in the outdoor igloo and they were so intimate and perfect. Will be returning!
