Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention the food is more about comfort than culinary innovation, so if you’re looking for gourmet Italian, this might not be your spot. A few reviews note that the decor, while fun, could use a bit of updating. And during peak hours, there can be a short wait—though the staff generally keeps things moving efficiently.
