★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1me and my friend were in town for work, and I’ve eaten at many restaurants on this street but this one was truly amazing, first off THE STAFF were some of the most genuine and friendly people I have ever met, we had gone during a slower time which was nice because we had time to connect with everyone there, the pornstar martinis were an 11/10 (coming from an avid pornstar martini drinker) and the food was amazing and came out super quick.. there was homemade lemon cello which I highly recommend, they also automatically included a 20% tip which I love for convenience (although we did absolutely tip them extra) but when I tell you these people are so nice I mean they are literally so nice, will be coming back just to see all their friendly faces again🤍 ALSO THE RESTAURANT IS GORGGGGGGGGGG FOR PICTURES
August 05 · Taylor MooreWe were walking down the street and were stopped by one of their guys by saying, "$13 lunch specials with free soft drink." As a group of 4, we said yes.We were brought inside, and they had the window/door open, and the fresh air felt amazing. We order 4 different lunch specials; meat lasagna, stuffed shells, vodka penne, and a margarita pizza. Straight up , the vodka penne plate was by far the best dish. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The stuffed shells were a little salty, but overall, it was good. The pizza was soft and crispy. And then, it there's the lasagna. It was okay. And mid dish, we find the center to be completely cold (almost frozen). We tell our server and she immediately takes it back and tells us they are making us a new plate. It was great customer service and I have no complaints about her. I wish I had gotten her name. Overall, the experience was good.
June 16 · Shi GrissomVery strange experience. Just wanted a quick after dinner beer. This place advertised $8 beers so thought we’d sitWe were sat down on a table which the host had to clear for us when there were loads of clean tables. We asked what beers he had on draft, the host replied I don’t know I’m not a server but proceeded to get another menu. We asked what a Harpoon beer was. He said “it’s the name of the beer” when we asked further what style of beer it was he said “I don’t know i don’t drink”. We then googled and found it was an American IPA we tried to order a pint and then it wasn’t available.Beers came out and everything was fine. The server Raquel is great. Was serving everyone without help from the host very capably. Then someone came in off the street and started a fight with the chef. She dealt with it very well. Just was a very strange experience whilst we were finishing our beers.FYI too is automatically added to the bill so you don’t need to add more too after you pay. (20%)
July 24 · Jonners UKIt was a wonderful experience, went with a group of friends for a joint birthday celebration. Their alfredo is absolutely delicious, our server Racquel was such a joy and brought an amazing vibe to our table. Next time we're in the city will definitely stop by again!!
August 13 · Emely PeraltaWe only wanted two beers during the "Happy hour" time but it was just a scam. There was no Happy hour. The beer was offered at the same price in Menu - 8 $. Instead of the usual pint of domestic beer they brought us half pint of warm Italian beer. We decided to finish our drinks and leave as soon as possible, but when we received the bill, the total price was 21$. This is not Italian style. Italians value their guests.
