Nice unpretentious crowd. Great food! The Hagar steak special was one of the best meals I have ever had. Great common area outside to wait for your table. Highly recommended!

Absolutely incredible taste and authentic Italian menu. The waitress Haliey was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend the Ribeye steak Florentine style and the house special dessert Banana Foster, you won?t go wrong. Everything on the menu is wellmade and taste delicious. 5 stars. Only thing I would suggest is they improve their coffee menu.

Very unique place! Super delicious food and amazing staff. Of course the food is great, but they have some unique wines that they?ll help you pair with your meal. Try a little of everything. You won?t be disappointed. Do not skip risotto.

This place gets very busy, so go early, 5pm unless you want to wait awhile. Bar was 2 deep, so bartenders must be popular! Also, this restaurant is LOUD! So, if looking for dinner conversation with others, be warned. Food is delicious! Wehad starts of pimento and hummus, and salad before. Pimento and hummus is sharable for 2-4 people. I ordered the special ofstuffed trout with chorizo and crab. It was good, but wish I'd ordered the salmon instead after seeing it. Also, ordered thesea bass, but due to supply it is actually halibut, however, cooked the same. . Split a slice of coconut pie after, and it wassweet, and with Graham cracker crust. It was wonderful!

I FINALLY was able to come here for dinner because of the fact that they are always busy when I come and they try to seat reservations as quickly as possible. This isn't a con, it's just a testament to how good they are (but it can be a con if yourstomach is eating it's insides ???? . When we were seated we had a couple of cocktails a Dirty Martini and an Old Fashionedand they were well made. We took our time to have a few courses. We started with the 50/50 Meatballs and then the Z House Salad.The meatballs were so delicious, tender and full of flavor some of the best I've ever had! The Z House Salad on the other handwas a bit of a disappointment. For the salad to be a restaurant special it wasn't a wow and could've used a sweet kick to it toadd that pow it needed. We had the Lobster Ravioli next and it was amazing. The ravioli was cooked perfectly al dente and thePomtom sauce was to die for this was the best part of the meal. We also had the New York White Pie and it was really good, nottoo over done or flimsy (if that makes sense . For dessert we had Espresso Martinis and the Bananas Foster. The Bananas Fosterwas really soft and gooey and I liked it (granted the other person with me didn't enjoy it as much as I did because she felt thebanana was too overpowering . The Espresso Martinis could've had more espresso in them because it did taste too sweet, like ithad too much Kahlua. The restaurant itself was really cute, nicely decorated. The restrooms were clean as well. I woulddefinitely go back to try a few other dishes because I had a good time and except for a few small cons, they were overall reallygood.
