    Only downside is entree pasta size is small- about 60% of those dishes from other restaurants. Flavors were great though. We had bread, olives, shared green salad, pizza and triangoli. We were full not stuffed. For 2 adults of normal weight.

    Another great meal at High Street. Everything is so delicious here. The Caesar salad is fabulous, the lamb meatballs is so delicious, and the pasta is too. We love coming here.

    Food was delicious- reasonably priced and beautifully presented. Make sure you’re up for unique and inventive uses of ingredients like little tiny charred pearls of eggplant on the eggplant filled pasta. Pizza crust chewy, airy and delicious. Desserts to die for.

    Overall great experience. Some of the food was awesome, some was just good-to-ok. The tuna appetizer was awesome, my chicken was great, dessert was eh just ok. It is on the pricey side, so I was expecting a more awesome experience, but overall it was great. I did not love our table, squeezed into a niche next to a server station. Our server was great and all the people were wonderful. The restaurant itself is small.
