Honestly the best Pizza (bbq chicken)I've every had. All the flavors just complimented each other perfectly. The thin crust was perfect. The pasta was super creamy and flavorful. 10/10 would recommend

Great food, was so good. We came here twice in one week. Someone in our party had allergies and the chef came out personally to take our orders and make sure we were satisfied. Would definitely recommend this place! Staff was very nice and attentive.

Excellent food, I really enjoyed the flatbread pizza and the starters were enjoyed by all. The staff are friendly as is the owner. The cocktails are strong and the service timely. My only criticism is the additional service charge on the bill, I prefer a service charge rather than tipping as my understanding is that it's divided amounst all of the staff. Our waitress became antsy when I declined to add a tip on top of the service charge. She explained that only the kitchen staff get the service charge, the waiting staff do not. This implies that the menu price is for raw ingredients and the service charge is to pay the chef to cook them; a highly unlikely arrangement. She did provide good service so I reluctantly added a tip on top of the service charge. I would suggest that the owner makes this clear on the bill or divide the service charge fairly between all staff. Other than that I would dine here again.
