Good Evening, We had dinner with you last Saturday, and while I don’t want to be “that guy,” but I think you should consider getting the sewer problem fixed before seating anyone in the back of the restaurant. That really is a health department concern as well. While the quality of our food was great, our waitress seemed to be overworked (which didn’t hinder me giving her an almost 30% tip on a 200.00+ bill), we were very disappointed that we had to sit and smell a sewer through an entire meal. I don’t hold our waitress or the other staff accountable, but I do hold the management and the establishment accountable. I also feel that the bartenders should be more experienced in making whatever drink comes their way. I don’t want to share what drink that was as not to draw attention to myself, but it was an easy and common one. Another shortcoming. I can’t honestly say we’ll return soon. I hope you look into these as constructive criticism. Thank you.

Appetizer was excellent, pasta entree was undercooked, as well as risotto entree. Desserts were fine. Didn't have the wine we wanted but the alternative was quite nice.

Before I critique, I'll say first that the workers were very friendly and definitely hustling to attend to everyone. Despite being short-staffed, they did well balancing all of the customers and serving quickly. The sauteed calamari appetizer was delicious! However, the rest of the gluten-free menu was very limited and was less than impressive. I paid $30 for GF shrimp pasta, to only have 3 pieces of shrimp in the whole dish. We also got the lemon chicken and the portion size was very small. I don't feel like it was $80 worth of food altogether. Also the outdoor seating is only available in the warmer weather (for those looking for outdoor seating).

Yes. We ate under a tent outside and everything was setup very well.
