Great dinner!! The food was delicious, our server was friendly and helpful, and the cozy atmosphere was perfect. We will definitely be back - the beets starter and Marguerita pizza are fabulous!

Experience is always a plus. The vibe is chef’s kiss. Ricky is always on top of things. Even though it was a little late for my table because it would pop it was graciously the kindness and service continued. That’s why that is my go to restaurant at least once or twice a month.

always a relaxing and enjoyable experience, service and food is always at least very good - hearty red wine by the glass selection is good but not great but also hard to find and I have particular tastes here - we go the PF frequently - it is a major go to place for us as we have to worry about the experience, just the getting seated part.

Nice meal, though the music was really loud at our table. Good range of choices on the menu - we enjoyed salads, a pizza, and the roast chicken, which was perfect for a late brunch on Sunday afternoon.

Was very excited to try this restaurant. They were VERY accommodating when I needed to add a third to my reservation. The host (or manager) called and messaged me, which was very appreciated. My troubles came when we ate there. Our waitress seemed very disengaged as if we were a bother. We ordered 2 courses and our food came out right on top of one another, trying to get us to leave, I presume. This made for a less than ideal experience. The food itself was excellent. The meatball appetizer was wonderful. The steak tartare was a bit mushy. The salmon was delicious, although the skin was a bit over cooked. Would eat there again, hoping for a better experience.
