Cannot say enough good things about this place. Walked in to LCD Soundsystem bumping through the speakers which was excellent. We went during happy hour so half price drink specials! We ordered a LOT of food and it was all outstanding. We over ordered for sure but it wasn’t even expensive! Shocked considering the level of quality and detail. I got two shareable plates and a wine for $20!? A great deal. Will absolutely go here again very soon.

Best pizza I've had in town. The hummus is perfect, which is rare. We had a reservation and were seated very quickly. It was very crowded so I don't think it would have been good to show up without a reservation. Everything was super delicious, and the service was excellent. It is now on our list! We will be back regularly!

[December] We love our Dinner Club! It's an eclectic group formed with one or two degrees of separation, all with a love for good food and great times! Last night, we met up for our holiday celebration, at Eatery A. And, ho-ho-ho-holy shiatsu it was good! Our server (I feel awful that I did not get her name, as I usually make a point of it) juggled our large group like it was second nature. To wrangle this herd of cats to get our drink, appetizer, entree, and dessert orders is no small feat. While I know we didn't cover the entire pizza menu, we deserve honorable mention for covering a lot of the rest. For one small moment, we may have been quiet, as everyone had nothing but rave reviews for their food. Usually there is at least a couple of us who get buyer's remorse and make note of something different to try next time. But, the glorious part of our group, is everyone shares their food! For starters, we covered the cauliflower, baba ghanoush (not traditional, but you'll love it), mushrooms, papas bravas, and brussels. All were delicious, but the finalists for best in show were the mushrooms and papas. The pizza is always a crowd pleaser. The pasta must have been good because not much was left to take home. The stars of the show for entrees were the lasagna (don't tell my mama because I could tell she attempted to decline a bite knowing she makes the best) and their grits. I hesitantly share a somewhat unpopular opinion (especially in the south), but I don't like grits. Put whatever you want in those things and I act like a toddler who's mom snuck pureed broccoli into a dish. I did not know I ordered them. I talked too much and had to order in a pinch and went for three skewers (shrimp, beef, chicken). My plate came and I didn't know what I was eating, but that I could live on it the rest of my life. I shared bites with the table and was shocked to find out that this tasty little treat was, in fact, grits. Whoa. Too stuffed for dessert, dessert was ordered. Mama loved their creme brulee. And, anyone who took a sample of the *edit: dark chocolate Mousse cake* made noises that leaves parents telling their kids, "earmuffs." Din-Din, our mascot, loved it all too - he snuck into to most of our pictures! Eatery A, you impressed with your execution of your menu, handling a large group, and running like a machine on a jam-packed night!

Found this restaurant after google searching 'allergy' friendly restaurants in the area. I asked the server about their menu, and I could hear the waitstaff discuss jokingly about my food allergies behind the bar with their managers. Wanted to leave, but we had already been there too long waiting to be served. The ambiance of the spot was beautiful, but food was ok. To note - this is not a traditional Mediterranean restaurant.

I got a gift card..how do I find balance on it?

Mary Kohlhof | Jun 11, 2018
Josh Ford | Jun 12, 2018

Full disclosure, I've never gotten a GC from here but does it look like a traditional credit card/gift card? If so, there should be a phone#, maybe a website, and account# on the back of the card, which should provide you balance details. If not, just call the restaurant, they're really helpful and friendly.
