We did wait almost 10 minutes for a waitress to stop by the table to greet us and take our drink order, but again it was packed, so not a big deal. They serve you a basket of bread and a plate of oil for dipping when they bring your drinks out. The bread was very soft and fresh. We started with an order of toasted ravioli for the appetizer. We didn't realize that an order only comes with 5 raviolis. Since we had a party of three at the table, we placed a second order. It would be great for them to list in the menu how many comes in an order to prevent the wait for the second order to come out. For entrees, two of us had the Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken, and the other had the Cannelloni Florentine. The food was good, as was the service.

For a cocktail or bottle of wine Id guess they meet expectation. The food menu is very limited. The…read morefood was mid to low quality. We ordered appetizers a calzone ( burnt in on end, blackened on the bottom -bitter tasting) and a sandwich ( warm, chips oily and soggy). It seems like there are only 2-3 staff working on a graduation / Mother's Day weekend ???? Service was slow but these folks were clearly overwhelmed. They were polite and apologetic for the food preparation time. There were very few folks there so they weren't slammed busy and overwhelmed, just overwhelmed. We likely won't be back. $325 Dinner and drinks bill and any chain place with mid quality drinks and food ( Chilis, Applebee's, Cheddars, ) would be 1/2 the cost and clearly better. An upscale place ( Flame, Texas Roadhouse, Outback) would be a way bether choice for comparable money. The Venue is stunning and looks clean. Hopefully they get it together, or get someone in the space who can. Disappointed at best.

My favorite was the crimson eclipse. Food- 3/5. We ordered some appetizers and they were a little disappointing/did not match the description of the menu. The margarita pizza was a little spicy. Fruit and cheese plate had some nice jam, but the presentation was off. Crab cakes were small. Also, the menu on their website was slightly outdated. I would still recommend this location as it's very classy, great for groups, and plenty of parking. Service was excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating.

There is plenty of seating in the dining area. Walk up and order at the counter. Everything was fresh and delicious. Made to order and you can modify any menu item to your liking. We ordered the combo so we could try a small sandwich and a small salad. The only issue is, there is nothing small about them! Both were delicious, but a meal within itself. I couldn't finish mine and ended up bringing half of each home! We tried the Triple Berry Salad, Greek salad, and the Chicken Bacon Ranch on ciabatta bread sandwiches. If you like fresh ingredients and healthier options, this is the place for you! We will definitely be back...

It came out hot and fresh and had a good flavor to it. We had the garlic cheese bread with red sauce for dipping, and the Joe's special thin crust medium 12 inch pizza.

The one con: was the Chicago style pizza it taste good but, it was just thick crust pizza the layering was not right and lack of ingredients was a shame to Chicago style. The layers they had were cheese sausage and sauce. Every pizza I have had in Chicago was layered ingredients then cheese then sauce. Then the lack of ingredients the places I eat at in Chicago there was a bit of sausage in every bit. I am biased because I'm from up there.
