There is something for everyone. From the appetizers, small plates, and entrées. Been there twice in one month and I can't wait until I return.

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 :)

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.

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.
