    Yesterday evening we celebrated my birthday seated in one of the heated igloos. We arrived a little early to the lobby being extremely packed at some points with no room to move. We checked in and was told twice they were fixing our table. We get called as if they were ready and are told no it will be another 5 minutes. A 7:30 reservation had us seated at about 8. Understandable because of the popularity. The ambiance was great, service was excellent. A couple small hiccups were they forgot my husbands entire meal but did bring it to him once notified and told us it would be on the house. Second hiccup was a drink that the flavor was not asked and they just gave one of their choice…annoying but not a huge deal. Third hiccup was photographer stated photo purchase included a digital copy and would be sent within the hour and we have still yet to receive. The food was absolutely delicious. From the huge garlic knots to the baked clams and pizzas and my entree….I give the food taste and quality a 5 out of 5! My meal could have beeb a bit warmer but really not a big deal because the taste and quality were there and it was cold out so understandable. Our waiter was awesome and paid a lot of attention to detail aside from the few hiccups. The igloo was a fantastic experience and something different that all of us enjoyed and got to make some new memories! Job well done and we will be back!

    Thank you so much for choosing to celebrate your birthday with us and for sharing your experience. I want to personally apologize for the hiccups along the way—the wait for your table, the drink mix-up, and your husband’s delayed meal. I’m glad we were able to make it right, but I understand how these moments can be frustrating. Fun fact: your waiter was one of our college students who just had his first day back with us! I’ll be sure to share your kind words with him—it’ll mean the world as he continues to find his groove again. Thank you again for your understanding and for celebrating with us. It truly makes my heart happy to know the evening still brought great food, memories, and laughter. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another magical night! 🎉✨

    Nothing but amazing things to say about this place from the second i walked into the door. My girlfriend and i had reservations for 730 we showed up 30 mins early and got sat right away. Our server irene was extremely pleasant and welcoming. We told her it was our 1st time and she shared some history of the place with us. Lauren the owner and every other staff member checked on us nonstop to make sure we had everything we needed. We were in and out in an hour but somehow didn't feel rushed at all. I dont think i have one single complaint about this place. Food was AMAZING. We will be back for the igloos snd the carolers

    What a great time and new experience to have dinner in the igloo bubble. It was fun and warm while only 30 degrees out the servers were always checking in on is and it was nice not to have all the noise of the other diners yet the music in background was the perfect level. You have your own heaters to make it as warm as you like. The calamari was perfectly done light and crispy and the cappalinni cakes are a must try. Everyone was very hapy with their choice of entree. Eggplant rollitini, spaghetti carbonara, the chicken francese. All delicious! Thank you for a wonderful time

    I was so happy to get to experience the dome. As a f&b manager myself I have nothing but kudos to give to this establishment. It was lovely from the first second we walked in until the moment we left; staff was so nice, calm and attentive despite it being busy. Food was so good. The decor is really cute too. I would 100 percent go back! Shout out to Isabella and team for doing such a wonderful job.

    My third time here and never disappoints. First of all, the staff works so well with one another. The food was so good. Recommend the drunkin vodka. I had with the pizza and eggplant. We enjoyed the Igloos and it was so comfortable on a rainy chilly night. Defiinitely going back hopefully soon.
