I was disappointed that you have taken the OMG burgers off the menu. That’s what I came for. The other burger was ok but not great. Service was wonderful and it is a festive time of the year. I’m not sure why you changed the burger but I think it was a mistake.

Went for our small office luncheon and it was so good. We all had something great to say about the flavor. It’s not overwhelming in seasoning but full of flavor!!! Must try again!

The booth we were originally sitting in was extremely hot, we asked to be moved to an open table and it cooled down a bit. Would be a good place to sit in during the cooler nights. I had the ravioli filled with ricota cheese, covered in Alfredo sauce. It came with 5 or 6. They are enormous. (Literally the size of my hand). Super good. The bruschetta appetizer is delicious. Could choose from the 3 options, so we picked one of each. They were all good. If we lived here, we would come back more often.
