I was staying at the Marriott across the street and ordered dinner to go from here, it was terrible and took forever. I ordered the chopped salad and butter pasta (for my 6 year old). I’ve honestly had better airport food, the salad barely had any chicken and the serving of pasta they provided was insanely small. Would never go back

My friends, my wife, and I we all had a fantastic time today. The food was delicious. We ordered pizzas and pastas, and Nick S took excellent care of us. We definitely plan to return. Thanks!

Enjoyed our company luncheon today. Staff was great and attentive to our table of 9. Food was tasty. The location is nice and we were lucky that the area wasn't too busy. I had the Straw and Hay pasta and others enjoyed their dishes as well. Nice portions .

I recently dined at this charming, rustic yet elegant restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is cozy, although it can get a bit lively at times, which might be a bit loud for those seeking a quieter setting. That said, the service was exceptional—our waiter was incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home. The menu offered a great variety of options, and the food was absolutely delicious. The pizza, in particular, was expertly crafted and full of flavor, while the wine selection complemented the meal beautifully. All in all, it was a delightful dining experience, and I look forward to returning!

First time dining here and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and the food was impressive. If you don’t mind the noise from the street then you would love it. Favorite part of this food experience was the dessert. It was a trio sampler of tiramisu, chocolate gelato and a key lime pie custard. Sooooooo delicious!

Meal: Dinner Day Visited: Friday Budget: $50 Closest Station: N/A Reservation Needed?: N/A Payment: Cash; Credit Kid Friendly?: Yes English Menu?: Yes Good Italian food - the pizza and mussels were standouts; the spaghetti bolognese less so. Atmosphere is nice, if a bit corporate feeling. Other than not being informed of the Happy Hour by our hostess when we were seated, the service was also good.

Wow! Love this place! The first impression is about the coolest restaurant atmosphere you've ever seen. Amazing design. Even the bathrooms were so great! But the greatness of this restaurant doesn't end there. The service and food match the atmosphere. An easy 5-stars across the board. Our party of 8 loved and savoured every bite of food. The portions weren't so large that you go home with doggy bags, but they were just perfect. I couldn't have eaten more. The menu isn't huge, but isn't that always the sign of the best food? There was enough variety that is was still a tough choice. And everything was served with total class. A joy for the senses--sight, smell, and taste. And hit the spot to satiate the appetite perfectly. We were at a conference in this very building and wandered around awhile looking for somewhere in the neighbourhood to eat and ended up coming back to the convention center to eat here. No regrets. Amazing food, service, and aura.
