    We enjoyed the restaurant and would go back. We had delicious pizza, beer and cotton candy Rose. The waitress was very personable and took care of us but it was pricy.

    The espresso martini had min flavoring in it which is not specified on their ingredient list and was off putting. The main Cesar salad is basically a side salad at full price. Service was slow for a weekday and food was not as good as it used to be. Ambience was great though. Slightly disappointed.

    We had a table for 5. Bobby was our server. He did an excellent job of taking care of us. We wanted to get some post-brunch before the Springsteen concert. I needed all of the Linguine & Clams to help Bruce ROCK THE HOUSE @ Nationwide Arena!

    Thursday dinner. The place was very loud and you could barely talk over the noise. The food was decent. Salmon was good. Not sure the scallops warrant the $20 price tag. Brussel sprouts needed something - a sauce, cheese, more cooking - something. As a self-described fuddy duddy, it seems the place is meant for young 20 somethings to dress up, drink, and be seen. Just my opinion. It looks like the place does well though, as it was fairly busy for a Thursday. Most tables had the pizza on them. The bite I had was good but wouldn't warrant a return trip from me just for that. Overall, it was good to experience as a first timer, but Columbus has so many great places where the food is spectacular, and you don't need to shout your conversation to your tablemates. This goes down for me as a "been there, done that" place unfortunately.
