We called and they opened in a half-hour. I looked all around and every fast-food joint in the area was close by. Since it was my project and I was the driver, I said let's just take a break and wait the half-hour. Was so glad that we did. The door was now open, we were seated, and ordered two pizzas, some soups, and some garlic bread. It took us forever to place our order too, because we couldn't decide what to get and I had two project managers with me. No one could make a decision? A custom pie and Jess' Favorite or something like that. The pizza came out and my heart sank a bit... Thin crust pizza, which I'm not a fan of... I took the corner closest to me and couldn't be happier with that bite. Crispy bite with a thin layer of crispy dough with an amazing sauce. My mouth was tingling, feeling all of those flavors. Well worth the wait, and just an amazing bite. The two project managers ordered some pizza half-baked to take home with them, it was so good. Service was great, food was great, a nice break from life. By far the best option in that area.

That's weird. Beer can selection was terrible, bud & a few other mainstays, pizzeria next door has take out beer and a fabulous selection, I was tempted to bring some over. Normally I give pa and nj a break on their beer selections as they are routinely awful, but the place next door proved good beer is possible to find in wilks barre. Overall I think this winds up as a 3/5, it's overall fine and easy for them for lift into a 4/5 rating if they stock some better beer or if they literally have someone run next door to get a fringe beer.

My fiancé took me to this restaurant for our first dinner date almost 6 years ago this week, so we…read morecame back to celebrate before we marry later this year. So, this restaurant holds a special place in my heart. It was a Friday night so I was expecting it to be a little busy, but I was so sad to see barely anyone in there around 6:30 at night. We parked and walked in the lower lot, past a beautiful outdoor patio space that looks like it's a blast to hang out at in the summer once the weather gets warmer. (Took a mental note to come back with friends!) We walked in and seated ourselves and our waitress came right over with menus and asked for our drink orders. I'm a Gin girl so I asked her for a Gimlet. Even though she admitted she hadn't made one in a while, it was delicious and strong. My fiance ordered the Italian beer on draft and was in heaven. We were starving and got an appetizer (which we rarely do) to spoil ourselves and we ordered the Cauliflower Bites instead of chicken, just to try something different. THEY WERE SO GOOD. Breaded, seasoned, and cooked to perfection, we were relieved we DIDN'T order chicken bites, these were a lighter and tasty alternative. We ordered our entrees, and didn't have to wait long at all for them to come out, we didn't even finish our bites yet. I ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca and my fiancé ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese. He LOVED his dish, said the sauce was a little TOO sweet for his taste, but he finished the whole plate, he couldn't stop eating. My chicken however was a little dry. It was covered in cheese and I ordered spinach as my veggie side so those made up for the dryness, but overall, it was also delicious. Would we return? YES! The atmosphere was so nice and chill, the decor/vibe of downstairs is almost like Olive Garden but way classier. The food is just as delicious as it was 6 years ago on our fist date. Our waitress was friendly and accommodating, asked us how everything was, and made small talk as she tended to other customers and cleaned tables. The Ladies Room was also well maintained and clean. The only downside is the lack of customers! I couldn't believe how empty the room was on a Friday night for dinner and my fiance told me that for the area, that's not uncommon. People would rather visit a chain restaurant in Dickson City or just go to the bar. Common people, visit Arturo's instead, you're missing out!

This review was very mixed. We'd heard great things about this place and wanted to try a new place…read moreas we've started exhausting a lot of local places. The decor was great, the drinks were FANTASTIC, my food was about a 5 out of 10. I had the carbonara. Very oily and not creamy at all. I would have used a different blend of cheeses to make it creamier and less oily. My guess is they used Asiago. Not bad but not as great as I was expecting. My wife had the red beet salad. Shockingly a $20 salad with canned beets on it. Mediocre at best but the canned beets ruined it. If your getting a salad that features a specific vegetable wouldn't you want that vegetable to be the best highlight of the salad? That was the good part. The service I can't even explain. I'm not sure what happened because if it were like this everyday they'd be closed. We walked in downstairs and was told to sit wherever we wanted and then we were forgotten about. The bartender finally came over after my wife was looking her way for 20 minutes. Bartender apologized for forgetting about us. No waitresses anywhere. The AC I think was off because it was cooler outside on a warm muggy PA night than it was inside. The bar was about 3/4 full and there was one table seated and we noticed about 3/4 of the outdoor seating was occupied as well. Not super busy at all. We waited about 20 minutes before we were approached. We ordered water until we could got our menus and reviewed them. Water never came. Someone else came over and asked us about ordering drinks. We ordered drinks and asked about our water. Water never came. Drinks came. Then yet a different person came over a few minutes later to take our food order. We ordered water again since we were planning on drinking more. My wife's appetizer came out, meatballs. Pretty good, similar but somewhat different flavor than my Italian mothers recipe. When the app came out that person finally got us silverware, napkins and our water. Food came a little later. That's described above. During dinner we had to get up to get refills on water and were never offered additional drinks or anything. We finally stopped someone and asked for our check. My wife had to go to the bar to pay the bill. No one ever came back to the table. At one point earlier we were asked who our waitress was and we all looked at each other because 4 or maybe 5 people were at our table at some point but it was like we still couldn't get stuff we needed. My wife paid with a card she had forgotten to activate and it declined. The bartender gave her the slip and the card and never noticed or told her. She realized it at the table. We had to go back to the bar and pay again because after cleaning that one table everyone except the bartender would vanish. Finally we paid, sweating our asses off in a corner table with the most bassy sound system pounding for 2 hours we got out of there and went to a local bar for drinks. I would have loved to have enjoyed this place and loved to have had more drinks because their bar was the highlight of the experience but it was clear they didn't care about us at all. And we were sweating to death.

Oh and it's PITCH BLACK!!!! I mean zero lights in the parking lot. So as you're walking to your car with not seeing your hand in front of your face all while dealing with dirt and rock? Good luck.

My blueberry cran mule was tasty (hate copper mugs, but what are you going to do). I ordered an appetizer at the same time as the cocktail. When she brought my cocktail she asked if I decided on a meal. After requesting recommendation between fish & chips or chicken marsala, and being told the fish was very crunchy, i went for the fish. Of course, my salad arrived before my stuffed mushrooms (which were the highlight of the evening). My fault, I should never order dinner before the appetizer arrives. Menu items are generally in the $30 and above range, so I can be excused for expecting better. Not sure if the ranch is made in-house, but it's was excellent. Then the fish arrived. This huge piece of fish, can't tell you what type, and not crunchy at all. The fries were delicious. So, for a $55 check, I was pretty underwhelmed.

The meal experience there was genuinely impressive, especially with a menu that felt both comforting and creative. My table ordered a good variety of items to try, including a chicken salad, mushroom pizza, the blooming fries, a chicken ala vodka sandwich, and the chicken caprese sandwich. The chicken salad was fresh and well-balanced, not overly heavy and flavorful. The mushroom pizza was delicious! Earthy, rich, and had a nice crisp crust that held up well. The blooming fries were absolutely amazing, crispy on the outside and soft inside, I would describe it as yummy French onion soup tasting and with their boom boom sauce on top, it made them a favorite to be shared. The sandwiches were also strong across the board. The chicken ala vodka sandwich had a bold, savory profile, while the chicken caprese sandwich brought a lighter, fresher contrast with its combination of tomato, mozzarella, and chicken done right. Overall, everything was very satisfying, and without a doubt worth a visit. The quality across all these different dishes stayed consistently high. 100% recommended for anyone looking for a solid meal.

So clearly it's very popular. I had the chicken cheesesteak wrap, and the mozzarella triangles. Both were well done. However, that wrap was to die for and cooked just perfectly. So tender, cheesy, salty, the crispy pressed tortilla... You all do know what you're doing when it comes to food, I will say that. Which is something I rarely say about the area on the whole when I come to visit my family. The only problem this time was that we were being harassed by flies. During our dining, there were at least four flies that kept surrounding the table which we were swatting off on a regular basis. I know that is something that is challenging to control in a restaurant space but please try to take care of it. It made dining very challenging and there are very simple solutions to deal with this. It's not like we were eating outdoors. I will most definitely be back. But please, kill the flies.
