'21/9 1st customer/review: -- This unpretentious, sit down restaurant is a perfect place for a date or group dinner party. Spacious but quaint floor space with two outdoor, permanent, heat lamped dining areas as well. [This busy Friday night incurred a 20 minute wait for a table; easily solved as walked quaint downtown window shopping until received text that table was ready.] -- The young wait staff was very attentive, cordial, helpful, bubbly, and bright. -- Signature Uniqueness Alert: The carb addict will be pleased to know the free pre-dinner treat that arrives shortly after the menus is 4 fresh baked (still warm), squishy pizza dough balls with a side of honey butter. Amazing! [Note: they're on the menu as well.] -- The pizza (and crust) is very well made. Plenty of mozzarella cheese delights the senses as gooey strands dangle pie pan to plate. [Note: pieces cut large, so may need to request a few more diagonal chops if serving children/elders.] -- Pizza is also substantial toppings and crust. A medium (6 big slices) fed hubby three meals. So, toss the Keto diet out the window with all the scrumptious dough. -- Wine: small, ample separate menu, and by the glass available. -- Parking: After 6p, street parking is free, but fills up. So, be...

Food was not that great and service was lousy. Took an hour for food to arrive after we ordered and never saw our server for drink refills. Even had to wave him down to get our check. When the check arrived it was on adding machine tape and no explanation of what was charged. Server had a different server deliver the check for some reason, perhaps he was embarrassed because of his lousy service. Debated on letting my kids run amok through the restaurant to get their attention. Of course we complained and our new server apologized with a shrug of his shoulders saying they were busy??? The restaurant was less than half full, so don't know where the "busy" came from. Management came out but had no explanation or kind words to offer for the lousy service, she just re-handed us our adding machine tape check. Restaurant was so hot inside i felt like I was in an Arizona summer. Beer selection is limited also for a pizza joint. In short, I've had better food and way better service from Domino's pizza. My advice, try...
