They closed early, citing a "cheese shortage" and mentioning that they were going on vacation. It might be time for them to consider selling the place!

On my second day, I was approached by a person who identified as the owner, characterized by dark hair and a loud, commanding presence. From the outset, their attitude struck me as overly bossy, especially given our early interactions. During my first shift, I made an effort to address some cleanliness concerns in the kitchen and dish pit while trying to learn the ropes and encourage best practices like proper glove use and efficiency. However, instead of being supported, I felt disrespected and was even told to leave after my work ethic was criticized in a way that felt personal. This feedback came from both the owner and a manager named Sage, who seemed to contradict the owner’s instructions, which left me feeling confused and frustrated. Additionally, I noticed some concerning health and safety issues, such as what appeared to be black mold in the corners of the dough pans and a certain carelessness with food preparation that could potentially impact both staff and customers. I came on board with excitement for the food quality, the opportunity to contribute, and the hope for a cohesive team environment. Unfortunately, my experience thus far has left me unsure about those prospects. I believe there might be potential for improvement here, and I hope that management takes this feedback constructively to create a better atmosphere for future employees and customers alike.

The service was excellent, and everyone had a great time during our visit. I would definitely eat here again.

The inside seating area was hotter than outside, but outside didn't have any ability to get shade for half the patio in the afternoon and then a huge gust of wind blew a ton of debris into our food. Just seems like it would make sense to have some kind of screens or something similar for protection/shade. Service was wonderful.

Patio is a nice setting. No wait at 6! Service was good. Calzone was filled good. Pasta had good taste but little meat. Very disappointed as other reviews said that fee for credit card use is not mentioned! Makes you take out of your tip so I hope the owner is paying the servers well. Never seen this practice till Gunnison. Not a fan we are cash fans but didn't have enough with us.
