    So lovely I had someone named Ella take my call and help create the most perfect graduation dinner for my boyfriend. I wish I knew our servers name she was a sweetheart. Piercings, glasses, I came in on sat dec 21, at around 5pm because I was running late. Whoever she was truly deserves a raise they went above and beyond thank you :)

    Excellent service and attention from our waitress. Our meals were delicious, but a little disappointed that management had us pay for three meals when I needed to swap out pasta for the garlic mashed potatoes.

    The food was amazing, the short rib blue cheese toast was absolutely delicious, the octopus was cooked perfectly, the calamari was the best we’ve ever had. Service was great, Brianna was awesome and very helpful with our choices. We will definitely be back soon and recommend it 100% Thank you for the great experience

    Great dinner spot. Steak on a stone, skirt steak and bacon wrapped scallop entrees were great! This place never disappoints, all while being a reasonably priced establishment.

    Although we had a reservation at 7:30 pm, we were not seated until 8 pm which was quite frustrating. The manager just came to tell us how sorry she was for the delay but the table before us was not moving. How about she did her job and politely told that party at the table that another reservation was waiting to be seated? It is the holidays so restaurants are packed, I get that, but part of the management job is actually dealing with situations instead of panicking like they were. On top of that, only reason we were comped an appetizer was because my friend said something to the server when we received the check. Not a good way to keep customers happy. Food is okay, but there are definitely better restaurants in downtown Bethlehem. We will not be returning.

    Seated at a high top near door. Very cold air every time someone enters the restaurant. Had to ask waiter several times for items that should have been accounted for immediately. Also seat near kitchen door and cashier. Very noisy and discomforting. I know it was a very confined area for tables but customers shouldn’t have to put up with confusion while they are eating. I know it’s very hard for restaurants to keep the doors open. Maybe they could put up a folding wall here.

    Menu items advertised on site weren’t not available and they had ran out of several items as well. It Took an hour to get our entrees, which were in fact very good. Wait staff not very attentive but again food was good.

    We ate there after the house tour so it was understandably crowded which we didn’t mind so we relaxed with our drinks. Our sandwiches were good. Could’ve had homemade potato chips instead of ruffles. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. The only thing we didn’t like was the singer who was way too loud so we could not converse easily amongst ourselves. If the volume was way down it would’ve been OK as background music. Would definitely eat there again.

    We’ve been coming here for years, but not very often. Each time the food is top notch. Our party of 7 was served quickly and professionally while enjoyed everything from pasta to fish to their famous short rib ravioli. Surely a top 3 restaurant in downtown for food, ambiance and service.
