We stopped in after baseball with our kiddos a couple weekends ago. I have been meaning to make…read moresure I take time to make this review since. The drinks were amazing, the charcuterie board was a hit with all at our table and just the right amount of a snack for the four of us before we ordered the pizza option from next door. Our youngest daughter noted it was the best pizza she's ever had. We also found it pretty delicious. The waitresses deserve a major shout out..I wish I had gotten their names...but....nonmatter which one ended up at our table they were extremely sweet and accommodating and extra kind to our kids. Before heading out- one of the waitresses helped me pick out a few tonics to take home with me and even sent me on my way with a couple of recipes from drinks I really enjoyed while there. They were beyond sweet as they stuffed a few extra mints and a 15 percent off coupon in our bag. Though my husband and I have been here many times and have never had a poor experience, this was by far our favorite time....our kids ages 6 and 9 were super happy and raved about it to their older sister and grandparents for the whole rest of the week-- this says a lot from them, trust me. Thank you for giving us a family friendly experience while still getting to enjoy some adult style (cocktails for husband- mocktails for me) beverages with amazing food. P.s. We ALWAYS love the windows that open to the outside...such a vibe.

Lots of drinks options including a sizable wine line and tap beers. We ordered the roasted Brussels to start and they disappeared quickly. Everyone found something different on the menu. I ordered the Caramel Apple Salad with grilled chicken and it was delicious. This was a fun twist on a traditional apple salad. My husband ordered the Chimichurri Bowl with grilled chicken and really liked it. Everyone at the table finished their plates because it was delicious and the portions were perfect. We finished their night with a crème brûlée and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Service was flawless and the overall ambiance was lively but we could easily carry on our own private conversation. I can't wait to go back as there was so much more on the menu I want to try.

The restaurant was very nice, had an October-fest atmosphere with a special German menu and polka music playing. We ordered the "run of the mill " pizza and arugula beet salad.

It started filling up pretty fast after 4:30 so I would recommend a reservation. A very pleasant surprise indeed!

We were…read morethere right at open during the farmers market and there was an initial rush that died down after 15 or so minutes. The bartender was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the products; answering some questions I had about proofing. It's in a great spot downtown right next to the farmers market with plenty of street parking. There are a few sidewalk tables but a nice open space inside. The inside doesn't allow dogs, however, due to their kitchen. Speaking of... The pizza was pretty good! I feel the most important part of any pizza is the crust and that was the best bit of theirs. The fresh ground flour adds a ton of flavor and they got a decent char on the bottom and rim. The prices weren't terrible and 1 pizza with some booze fed both of us. My only gripe is that they go heavy on the cheese so the (excellent) crust can't hold up to the weight and wetness. That's made a bit worse by they fact that they use a high-moisture mozzarella so there's a lot of grease that can soup the whole deal up. All in all they make fantastic spirits, service is great, and now have good pizza at a decent price. I think this may be my go to spot for meeting friends when I'm in Northfield.

We are glad we did as the pizza is fantastic Neapolitan style pizza with high quality toppings on delicious dough. We loved "white" sausage pie and the pepperoni honey pies, both perfect versions of these classic pizzas. The bonus was the in-house liquor!

I love French dips and had to try it here. The menu said that it was "piled high" which is why I got the sandwich. It was definitely a huge disappointment to see that piled high meant literally only two slices of roast beef. I didn't complain but I was really bummed. The highlights were the chicken cordon Bleu balls with ranch and the portobello mushroom bites with marinara. They were to die for. So good especially the Bleu bites. Lastly. I tried the catfish because I love catfish. These fingers were soo overly greasy I had to pick a lot of the breeding off which left me to realize there's barely any fish in there. Overall not bad. I'd try other options if I was passing through the area again. I'd definitely get the Bleu bites again. The waitress was also very friendly and made the experience pleasant.

The space inside is smaller so I definitely recommend making reservations! Plenty of street parking.

I shared the orbital dinner for two. We got the slab salad, alfredo mafaldine, grilled zucchini and the chocolate pot de creme. Additionally ordered the wagyu zabuton, fries, and some cocktails. I would get the wagyu and fries again. I was not impressed with the other dishes, but nothing was bad. Also the cocktails are always great here. Service was a bit slower than desired; so if you are in a rush this might not be the spot for you. Recommend Stargazer for their drinks! I would say food is not bad but not the best for similar joints.
