    The food was very good as usual; Riley at the front desk was great and service from Samantha was exceptional. We would love to have her as our server anywhere. One down-note, which has nothing to do with the excellent dining experience, is that P&D no longer accepts the InKind payment App; so if you loaded a significant amount of $ on that app, in part because you loved P&D, you will need to use it elsewhere.

    We had a fantastic experience, from the exceptional service to the delicious food. Our waitress, Raelin, was outstanding. Despite the restaurant being busy, she provided attentive and friendly service throughout our meal. The portion sizes were generous enough to allow for leftovers, something she kindly warned us about, which made us laugh! We ordered the sausage and mushroom pizza, pepperoni pizza, spaghetti with meatballs, and shrimp fra diavolo, and everyone truly enjoyed their meals. The portions are large enough to easily share among at least three to four people. The restaurant's ambiance also contributes to a family-friendly atmosphere. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for our Christmas meal.
