Same here for lunch for a friend's birthday and really enjoyed it. Glad this happened because I don't think we would have found this place otherwise. Chinese salad with chicken was the highlight of the show! Ask for dressing on the side and can't even need as much n So country and so fresh and so refreshing! We ordered a large size + ½ chicken breast to split among 2 and that was so huge the only finished half. Very large portion size! Thai chicken pizza was lovely as well. Lovely crunch of the peanuts with good amount of julienned zucchini as well. Definitely recommend getting it on the regular crust because the artisan train crust very thin and there was a lot of popping on the pizza. Dip sampler was good. Hummus was my favorite. Garlic pita bread It came with was really creative and nice on its own! Fries were really crispy. Parmesan on top was beautiful. Duck tacos were surprisingly good! Cute little tacos with a crispy tortilla and some really good sauce. It came on a bed of lettuce which had a lot of that sauce now there as well and I could have just eaten the plain lettuce with the sauce. Crispy brussels sprouts appetizer would have been amazing if it had less oil. I could actually see quite the amount of oil on there so I only had a small piece. Good amount of char and the walnut in Parmesan on there was good but the killer was the balsamic on top! Really good flavor. Apple buy pizza for dessert was unexpectedly amazing! Just the right amount of sweet and good ratio of apples to the crust. Came with a scoop of ice cream on top too. Others on the table order the goat cheese, pizza, orzo, pasta and just a bunch of other pizzas. Everybody enjoyed the food.

The two entrées we shared had full bodied aromas and were delightfully delicious especially when paired with a nice Chardonnay. Wow! This was a surprise luncheon date with my lovely wife and I sure scored! We picked a table at the far end of the restaurant where the food emerges from the kitchen; it made our Server (Bella) much more accessible. When you come here to eat, ask for Bella; not only was she conversant and opinionated about everything on the menu, she checked on us VERY frequently, and she always had an indefatigable and genuinely charming smile. I ordered the Mushroom Orzitto which had generous portions of wild mushrooms, mascarpone, truffle oil, and a huge dollop of tasty Romano; and it waft a wonderful aroma that said MANGIA! Please 👍🏼

The pizza here is oddly disappointing and not worth it for $16. Toppings are stingy and quality is something like one of those fast pizza places. What's keeping this place 4 stars is that the other food on the menu are great. I've tried a few salads, tacos and pastas so far and they've been consistent. Can't forget the messy sundae also.
