Andy Davidson: Just another +1 for the amazing Mozzarella bar.. It really is great. The pesto+rock shrimp pasta dish tasted so fresh too. Great lunch spot.
Tony Xerri: Overpriced for the food in my opinion. Service was great but please dont serve me cold pasta and haphazard pizza. My friend sent back an overcooked halibut. I dont think Ill be back here amytime soon.
