Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

We had a light dinner here on a weeknight. There's a nice parking lot in front of the restaurant and we were warmly greeted, and seated at a nice big booth upon entry. A complimentary small dish of olives and a small bowl of buttery garlic bread were delicious! Had a late lunch so I wasn't too hungry. Ordered the arugula salad with the added protein of chicken. Inexpensive and delicious dinner of only $13! The chicken breast was flattened and grilled. It was juicy and tender. Everything on the menu looks pretty good so I'll have to come back and try other dishes when I'm back in the area.

First dining experience was sit down with 2 others and it was a very good first impression. The service was good although I felt like they hovered a bit even though there were several other diners in the front dining area, can’t complain too much about that though. The food was good and on time and pricing was a bit above average but meal portions were worth it considering I got 2 meals out of my dinner. However, last night I got take out for myself and my adult kids. I ordered 3 chicken parm dinners and the same meal as I got the first time - the chicken and shrimp meal because I really liked it. When I opened mine it was missing all the shrimp! I was extremely disappointed I mean how do you forget one of the main ingredients in a dinner when it’s literally part of the name?! And the fact it’s almost a $30 meal. I called to let them know because they should know the chef messed up but I was not about to drive 15 minutes back there to wait another 15 min and then another 15 min drive back just to have dinner while my family ate theirs. On top of that the chicken was very dry and chewy. This dinner was subpar compared to the first dining experience and it’s going to make me think twice about dining here again - if I do at all. It’s very unfortunate that one bad dinner like this can ruin a while customer’s experience for a restaurant especially when after the first experience I raved about it to quite a few people. Giving 3 stars because the atmosphere was nice, the people were nice and the first dinner was good but had last night’s dinner been the first experience, it would’ve been a 1 star review.

We ordered takeout — shrimp fra diavolo, chicken parm with vodka sauce (not on the menu), and the meatball grinder. Everyone agreed the meals were excellent. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and the garlic knots were plentiful and flavorful. We’ll absolutely be back!
