    Excellent experience. Started at the bar for drinks. The Prince St door opens and closes too much in cold weather. No barrier to block the cold so bar area was really cold. Other than that everyone was friendly and helpful. Our Server, Ian I think, was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable.

    There is a lot of great choices on the menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quiet (mostly because we dined on a holiday, but I am certain if we dined on a normal day it would’ve been lively and energetic). Our server was wonderful, and the food was great. The pizzas are great to share among 2 people as they are individual pizzas with 6 sizeable slices. The pastas a generous portion and fit the price. They do add gratuity (tip) to the bill & leave you the option to add more. Overall the experience was wonderful and I would recommend and go again.
