It was great overall, although parts of it seemed a bit too vinegary for me. The incubator was a satisfying drink. There was a piece of lime in it and the potency of the ginger was on the perfect level. I have to try this place again to go with their other pizzas. In retrospect, I should have gone with a pizza with tomatoes, as I prefer to have either a tomato sauce or tomatoes as a topping. It was still a very pleasant trip and I am happy to come back here.

Extremely attentive service. Much more so than I've had here before. Just on the edge of intrusive. But! The food arrived quickly, well plated, and delicious. read more Extremely attentive service.

We were there with a dog and an infant and found the patio seating very comfortable. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

She accommodated my girlfriend near an outdoor heater so my gf could still enjoy the outdoor weather. What Lilly didn’t know is that my gf and I are in a long distance relationship and it was our last night together for a while. Very enjoyable staff. At least try this place once.
