    My party of 4 enjoyed our dinner out so much!! We each got something different. We shared the guacamole which was so unique and very tasty. It came with taro chips. We also shared the ceviche. Again, amazing. My dinner was my least favorite. Duck on brown rice with mushrooms. Too much rice, not enough mushrooms. The duck wasn't as tender as I had hoped. But good for anyone who loves vrown rice! My husband got the Branzino and it was so pretty and the best dish on the table. Delicious!! The seafood dish, my sis-in-law got was also very good! I tried a piece of the shrimp. Very good. The Mahi Mahi was a huge piece. I'm not a fan of Mahi Mahi so wouldn't order it foe myself. But she loved it. My bro-in-law got a chicken dish and he loved it. I didn't taste it but he and his wife said it was very tender and unique and delicious. We all had drinks. My Sancerre was kind of bland to go with my dinner but alone, it was tasty. The boozy drink I got had a lot of aperol which kind of overpowered the drink. The Sours are really good. One of the diners enjoyed hers a lot. The guys had beers. The ambience was good but we were seated right by the waitress station. Not the best but it was nice and toasty and we weren't really bothered by the activity at the bar. The waitress was so amazing and k ew the menu and drinks very well. We loved the unique dishes. We definitely recommend it!! I would go with seafood next time. The decor was really pretty.

    It was a fun family outing to Professor Pizza. The menu has a variety of pizza styles from which to choose and the very hospitable staff did a great job coaching us in our ordering. This allowed us to try two types of pizza - cracker and Detroit - without over ordering. We look forward to going back!
