I never thought I would say this but they put too much cheese on the pizza causing it to drown in grease. There aren't many tables in the lobby so I believe it is just a take and go kinda place. The front of the business is pretty cluttered. People working there were nice enough and prices are good. Parking is on street, which can be difficult to find sometimes.

We watched her maintain her good attitude even with a dining room full of people, all vying for her attention. The rest of the wait staff was also very nice and we were greeted by friendly enthusiastic hostesses. The restaurant itself is lovely and you really feel like you are having a special night out. As a chef, yous all know i can be tough to please, so i try to give the benefit of the doubt! This is the third time we have eaten here hoping for it to be worthy of the prices. This last time, we decided i will take it home and fix it up to make it more palatable. I did share with Simone our thoughts on the food, and she let us know they have a new chef who is learning their menu. So, we will come back one more time to see if there is a positive change. We really want to enjoy coming here as it is one of the more affordable nicer dining options in the area. Well let yous know how it goes! To be continued...

We ordered some apps and entrees: calamari (came out room temperature; otherwise decent); stuffed mushrooms (again not hot enough) Brussel sprouts (pretty good) house spaghetti salmon & veggies chicken marsala; and ultimate cheeseburger. All items were decent and no huge complaints. But the fact that an Italian restaurant has burgers on their menu should say it all. No serious, respectable, true Italian restaurant would have burgers on the menu. Just sayin... Lastly, service was friendly and good. Not super fast but good enough for the night,

TLDR - Pizza is very expensive, portions are small and toppings skimpy, they charge extra to use…read moreyour debit card to pay. I placed a to go order for two large pizzas (a pepperoni and meatlover type) and came in to pick them up. The bill was 55.00 for two pizzas. I thought that was pretty expensive when I was ordering over the phone but thought, "they must be good sized pizzas" so I went ahead and ordered. They added a pretty high charge onto the bill for using my DEBIT card. I was shocked at that. When I asked why I was being charged extra for my debit card I was told that they charge for the usage of any card. WTF? Credit cards, I can kinda see since the business gets charged a per use fee, but a debit card? No. That is absolutely ridiculous. You have a product, you accept those forms of payment, and then you ADD a charge on because you would prefer cash? Not loving that, at all. Anyway, get the pizza back to where we are staying, open the box to find an "artisan" style pizza that is about the size of a legal pad. To add insult to injury, the toppings were very sparse and there was hardly any cheese on the pizza. If you are going to charge so much for pizza, how about not being skimpy on the toppings? I guess I am the outlier here or I should have dined in and had pasta instead of pizza. NOT impressed.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I came here expecting a decent meal and left wondering how…read morethis place is still open. The server, Lynn, had the most dismissive, unprofessional attitude I've ever encountered eye rolls, sighs, and an overall vibe that customers are a nuisance. The food? An insult to my taste buds and my wallet. What I got looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since last week. The photo says it all -- limp, greasy, and completely unappetizing oh and not to mention i was overcharged for my order. There are plenty of restaurants in town that actually care about their customers and serve food worth eating. This isn't one of them. Save yourself the disappointment and go literally anywhere else.

Yummy antipasto- this was after we ate some!

She didn't have any beverage while I had their dragonberry mojito. The beverage was excellent, as was the tortellini and garlic bread, and the fries are possibly the best in Ellensburg. My cut of prime rib was more done than I ordered and was lacking in flavor. The doneness the establishment had control over, the taste, not so much. The corn was not very good, like it had been out too long, soft and not the best taste. The service was excellent! Our server Taylor was very attentive and worked hard to make our visit memorable. I left a tip a bit higher than what I normally would. The part though that is irritating to me is they charge a 3% credit card fee. This restaurant is equidistant between banks that I use. If I had known of this fee I could have had cash. Banking fees should be built into your pricing. $40 for a 10-12 ounce prime rib should contain enough profit to absorb the credit card fee. All in all a good meal that mostly checks the excellent box.

There was open seating in the bar, the door greeter (bartender?) handed us some menus and said we could choose our own table. Definitely understaffed for two big teams of kids & parents, many empty tables were not cleared (including ours). We were warned that the kitchen was catching up with all the orders so it might take longer than normal. We didn't mind since we wanted to have a drink first anyway. We enjoyed the spicy Bloody Mary and a yummy ceviche appetizer to start. We eventually ordered the heaping 12th Man burger; too big to eat with your hands, had to knife and fork that baby! Hubs ordered the fish tacos, fresh & crispy, no complaints. The staff was hustling, spread thin, but still amazingly friendly & efficient. We will return to try other menu items.
