    Delicious food! It just feels like the restaurant as a whole has a lot of learning to do…and if you sit outside expect a ton of flies!

    Food was really hit and miss. The pizza, while highly recommended by our waitress, was really horrible. I don’t think it can even be classified as pizza… It’s more like burnt flatbread with some cheese on it. Do yourself a favor and don’t order pizza. Price is too high for what you are getting.
