Wonderful, cozy vibe eating outside, incredible service from the kind staff (they did not hesitate to rearrange tables so that we could all sit together), and delicious food/drinks (get the mozzarella sticks!). It was the perfect spot to wind down after a long work day! We will definitely be back :) ”
