I’ve been here about 6 times in the past year. I must start by saying BEWARE of their “gluten sensitive” dough. I was told the dough itself is not certified gluten free nor is it prepared in a dedicated space/on dedicated equipment. Makes me wonder why they even bother offering it. They do have good salads - I like the Apple + Pear Salad and the Blackened Chicken + Kale Bowl. Their minestrone soup was mediocre at best. They once made the salmon with just plain steamed veggies for me (I can’t have dairy, so no mashed potatoes for me), and I enjoyed that. The atmosphere is nice, but the service has been awful the past 4 of the past 6 times I’ve been there. I’m a pretty laid back diner and think I’m pretty understanding when it comes to waiting for service/food, but this place definitely tests my patience. We’ve frequently had to request utensils (after food has been brought to the table), napkins, refills on waters, etc... Things that diners really shouldn’t have to ask for at a “$$-$$$” establishment. The only reason I’m a repeat visitor is because my husband loves their pizzas and in the past, it had been a great place to take out-of-town visitors with no dietary restrictions. I don’t know if we’ll be back.
