" The food was good but not as good as I remembered from my last visit a year ago. The service was outstanding, which is why I gave them a three overall. It lacked the detail in the dishes, but the staff was very accommodating and friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" An average experience. We wanted to enjoy a quiet dinner but the live music was excessively loud, making it difficult to have a conversation. The food was decent, but not exceptional enough to make up for the noise. I wish they had a better balance between ambiance and entertainment. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last Saturday and was very impressed. As a fan of Italian cuisine, I found everything from the bread to the tiramisu to be delightful. Our server was charming and knowledgeable about the menu. The only downside was the high prices, but it felt worth it for the quality. Definitely going back for a date night soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food and atmosphere, but the service left much to be desired. We waited quite a while for our checks after asking multiple times. The food quality was solid, but this experience was dampened by the service issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were disappointed with our last visit. The steak I ordered was overcooked and not flavorful. They did comp it, but the food quality seems to be hit or miss. The atmosphere is great, and I love the beer garden vibe, but I expect better food for the prices we are paying. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lovely evening celebrating my friend's birthday here. We ordered several appetizers to share, and they were quite good. The pasta dishes were al dente and flavorful. Staff was very accommodating. Just a great experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic place to gather with friends! The combos of cocktails and the quality of appetizers we had were great. Also, loved the vibe in the beer garden; it was relaxing and fun. Would love to make this a regular spot. " (*Curated Review*)
