Ferro Bar & Cafe

After months and months of seeing @ferrobarcafe’s epic Instagram pasta posts we finally decided to fly all the way from Seattle to Toronto just to eat lasagna. I know - crazy. We made reservations for three nights in a row and got to try so many things and literally everything was superb and what I had been dreaming of. The magic mushrooms, soppressata pizza, lasagne bolognese (mandatory), the branzino, braised lamb rigatoni, kale Caesar, minestrone soup, the short ribs (EPIC), bread pudding, the mussels (a must) and of course tiramisu. The wine selection & cocktails - top tier. Shout out to Charles and their entire staff for making us feel so special and welcome every single night. They are so kind and so lovely. The restaurant itself has a great vibe and atmosphere. We’re flying home right now and let me tell you I am SAD that we won’t be able to eat here again for a while but we WILL be back. If you’re in Toronto and haven’t tried Ferro yet - just do it. You won’t regret it. If you’re a plane ride away and can’t stop thinking about those lasagnas - just book the trip and make it happen. It’s so worth it. We can’t wait for pasta trip 2026!!! 💛🙏

I always have a great time here whether it is for brunch or dinner. However, it can get really crowded and have long wait times. They don’t take reservations so for brunch I recommend getting there by 11:30 AM and for dinner by 7 PM latest. I recommend getting the trio so you get their bruschetta Pomodoro and magic mushrooms toast all at once. Their charcuterie spread called the 100 km board is perfect to share between 2 to 3 people. always get a bottle of lambrusco to go with it. The Burrata E bomba is light and fresh. They used to have a great pear salad with Gorgonzola, but I haven’t seen it on their menu in a while so it may be discontinued. I’ve had their pizza once and didn’t care much for it. And their tiramisu was too sweet for me, but that’s probably because it’s a Nutella tiramisu. The service is casual and the food comes out fairly quick. Must try: rigatoni with bolognese ragù Gnocchi pappardelle with wild mushrooms

If you’re looking for the best Italian food on St. Clair, this is the spot. Every dish is packed with flavor and you truly feel like you’re transported to Italy. The portions are massive, and the selection of different dishes makes it even better. Highly recommend getting the Octopus, Pastas, Branzino and Zuppa Di Pesce. Don’t skip out on dessert because I will dream about their bread pudding. It could get quite loud making it hard to talk, but aside from that this place is solid.

Returning to Ferro years after my first visit was an absolute delight! It lived up to my memories, just as amazing as I had imagined. The Trio is a must-try dish.

They have deleted my comments on their instagram account and blocked me. But I want the record to reflect that this was by far the worse eating experience I have ever had. Their lasagna was a lie! They post these beautiful pictures on Instagram but what you get in the store is nothing compared to what’s posted. The sauce tasted like it came straight from a tomato juice can. The pasta sheets were dry/burnt and the server couldn’t respond when I asked her how is the food they provided even remotely the same as the one on their social media. What’s worse is they have comments limited on social media which is clearly because they have disappointed so many people. There is no crime too low for these people!

Went on a Friday night around 8, it was fairly busy and we had to wait 5-7 mins for a table because we had called earlier and they said there isn’t reservations for parties at two. Food and service were really good, can’t wait to come back and try their daily specials.

I have been coming to this restaurant since it opened in the 90s. It pretty much started as a pool hall sandwich/dessert place. Over time the pool tables were removed and it became more of a funky/cool/artsy restaurant and has successfully stayed this way for many years. The food has always been great. The service and atmosphere.... awesome. Not many restaurants are open and popular for over 30 years. That should tell you alot about this place. If you love Italian food and your in Toronto, this is one hidden gem you need to check out!!

Food was ok... looks nothing like IG photos or pictures on website. There were all these flies pitching around our food... Toilet needed to flushed.. Not the greatest experience... would return.

One of my favourite Italian restaurants in the city. Always consistently delicious with generous portions and fair prices. My go to is the mushroom parpadelle and I get it with less dairy - the team is always super accommodating of dietary restrictions and preferences, something that unfortunately is rare in a lot of Italian restaurants. Other than the pasta, they have a great pear salad and an extensive wine list.

Checked out Ferro bar with friends recently. So glad we did. Things to know. - highly recommend reservations, especially on the weekends (it's hopping on a Saturday night) - parking is on street or side street. (Green P) or go via TTC street car. Loved the lasagna here. One of the best I've had in the city (I had the one with bolognese sauce). Note - believe it's a special on the weekends. Friends ordered the seafood and omg it was a generous portion. Dark intimate ambiance, so great for date night too. I'll be going back for sure. (I have a friend that wants that lasagna lol)

I used to live in the neighbourhood and Ferry was easily one of my top 3 restaurants. The food is so good I drool just thinking about it. They have some of the best pizzas I've had in the city. The flavour combinations are just incredible. I love that they have different lasagna creations every night. Our go to would always be the lasagna and a pizza and split. The tiramisu is so good too and they give you a nice hearty piece. We typically got take out and ate at home, but once in awhile we'd go in person. If there's one thing they can improve on, it's the service. It's always pretty spotty and takes awhile to get noticed.

Ferro been eating here for 30 years. Always delicious always consistent. Known for their pizzas and pasta, but all their food is delicious. If you have not been I highly recommend Ferro!

Ferro has some dishes that are best-in-the-city level. The pear and prosciutto pizza had a great salty-sweet tastes, generous toppings and a soft-chewy crust. The magic mushrooms lived up to the billing as they somehow made mushrooms and crostini taste mindblowingly good with its garlic seasoning and great crunch. And the tiramisu was velvety smooth and melted in your mouth. Other dishes we got were ok. The octopus had a generous serving of tasty veggies but would have liked more of the octopus itself. The spaghetti ala marinara had good seafood (especially liked the scallop) but would have liked the sauce to have a bit more kick. Service was efficient. Prices were generally reasonable for the taste and portion sizes. Place had a casual vibe. Will definitely go back to try more of their pizzas and sink into that tiramisu again.

Absolutely love the food here! The truffle pasta is really good. The ingredients are fresh and they use fresh pasta. The pesto pasta is very good as well . Prices are very reasonable. Small selection of wine. Tiramisu is a must. This is a very homey italian restaurant, not pretentious at all. Service was great. We got the - truffle pasta - pesto spaghetti - bolognese - fried calamari - mushroom toast - mushroom salad They're available on OpenTable for reso. Highly recommend this place for authentic Italian food

Lovely food and gorgeous atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the environment felt very lovely. One thing I felt was the staff were somewhat rushing us, but I understand there are time limits. Overall, I will comeback here for sure. My pasta was delicious, fresh, flavourful, just beautiful and gorgeous.

I would say this is a 3.5 not a 4 star. The restaurant was nice inside, had a very romantic atmosphere and lighting was warm which I liked. We got the octopus, mussels, hot honey pizza , diavola pizza, calamari and penne alla vodka. The octopus was good but it came played with a whole bunch of extra stuff that I didn't like. The actual octopus was cooked to perfection though. I loved the hot honey pizza, the combination of the sweet and spicy was perfect for me. However, we noticed the diavola was also sweet, which typically diavola is not meant to be sweet, so that came as a surprise, not a good surprise though. The penne alla vodka was very good and creamy, however the calamari was average. The showstopper was the mussels though, I loved it. The mussles were very fresh and the sauce did not distract from the freshness of the mussles. It was perfect. They also brought my dad our a tiramisu with a candle for this birthday, which was so special and sweet. The tiramisu was very nice too.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Philip was attentive and deserves five stars as well. For starters we had the Octopus Bomba which was a grilled large portion on a bed of vegetables. OMG the best I've ever had. Next we had Spaghetti Marinara with lots of seafood, son had Arctic Char and DIL had a gluten free pasta. All excellent. It was my son's birthday and I had whispered it to Philip. He brought out a huge Nutella dessert. I can't wait to go back.

This has been our favourite Toronto restaurant since they opened more than 30 years ago. It was always a 5 star restaurant for us. Unfortunately, due to excessive garlic, they have lost a star. Ferro's tomato sauce has always been the star of the show but now you can't even taste tomatoes. The sauce that comes with the margherita calzone is so overwhelmed by garlic that even after rinsing, we had to throw it out. We just had their pasta pomodoro and although it wasn't quite as garlicky as the calzone sauce, I couldn't finish it. The GARLIC sauce is all I could taste for hours. We ask Ferro to please use the wonderful sauce that they prepared for years, and if guests really want to be slapped in the face with garlic, perhaps Ferro could add an extra garlic option to their drop down menu add-ons. Sincerley, we're not vampires.

We arrived around opening on a weekend and it was empty. I find it weird eating in a restaurant that's totally empty, it's a bit awkward but nothing they can do about that. We went based on instagram photos and tbh I wish I had seen Yelp reviews first. The food was just meh - not bad but not great. The pastas were nothing special, same with the pizza. The food was overall decent but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone by any means. Overall, an okay experience.

Been here a couple of times and both times I got the Calabrese bianco pasta (sausage, garlic, rapini with olive oil sauce). The pasta was delicious and had leftovers for lunch the next day. We also tried the octopus appetizer which came with a SCRUMPTIOUS veggie salsa type of sauce and we made sure to clean that plate. My husband had a beef special with polenta and we were not impressed with either :( both severely lacked flavour. The charcuterie board was good but was missing a sweet element, like a honey or a jam. The second time I brought a friend and her pesto pasta was really good! Just the right level of garlicky. The ambiance was super cute and just the kind of place you want to take a date on or catch up with a friend. As it got later at night, I noticed the bar gearing up but didn't check it out. I was able to find street parking very nearby so I thought it was convenient enough.

Worst Service Ever. I was so excited to visit Ferro as I've been following them on Instagram for years and their food looks mouth watering. As we ordered a bottle of wine the bartender spilled it all over the glass, put a napkin under it and left...We were wearing white so we then cleaned up his mess. Server only attended us when we told the host we needed the server. We ordered the octopus and caesar as appetizers - octopus was all salt and the caesar was the worst. Where we were seated we can see in the kitchen and water was spewing all over the floor from the drain...We then ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese and Basil Pesto Burrata Spaghetti. The rigatoni was dry and the basil pesto spaghetti was swimming in sauce.... When we paid for the bill they called us back because they forgot to charge us for the wine. Servers were slow and confused the entire night. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND.

They had rapini as a side, which is always a plus. The containers for delivery are unsustainable. The mussels cooked in wine tasted like they were not cooked in wine, but steamed in water with a wine sauce poured on top. This resulted in zero flavour of the actual mussels. Extremely disappointing. This was my second time ordering after a successful first time, but I don't think I'll be returning.

Food is excellent and service is outstanding but unless you are deaf it is NOT an enjoyable dining experienc. The place was full with many ongoing conversations but the background'music' made it all but impossible to hear my guests across the table. I requested to have the volume of sound from my overhead speaker to be diminished or (even better) terminated but, if anything, the sound grew louder. will not be returning, which is sad

Have eaten here many timer and was always satisfied but this time I had the Shrimp Risotto and was thoroughly disappointed. It arrived with the rice swimming in a spicy soup of tomato sauce, risotto is not supposed to be a soup. Next time I'll stick to the fries and true Pizza lunch there, which they are great at and known for

Early April used ubereats to order the originale pizza from Ferro Bar and Cafe. The fresh thin crusted pizza was delicious with quality ingredients. I believe this is wood oven pizza?! I think i prefer thin crusted pizza ever since I discover them. Will reorder from this place next time!

Service was friendly. Food is quite mediocre, not authentic Italian. Music is impossibly loud, terrible ambiance. Will not return.

We had pasta with with seafood and one with mushrooms. They were both really good. The portion were good it wasn't too small. They make good drinks and have a good selection. The desert (tiramisu) was soooooo good and it was a big portion (we shared it). Would definitely go back again.

The food wasn't bad, but the hygiene was terrible. My friend and I came July 9th at the tail end of salsa on st. Claire. I went to the bathroom. No toilet paper, no soap. Even asked 2 employees to restock. Nothing. So used my hand sanitize (btw e.cold isn't killed with sanitizer as it's spores so has to be washed off). Walked past the kitchen and it just looked dirty and I had a bad feeling. Anyway, stupidly ended up staying, ignoring my gut feeling and we had food. At around 3 am woke up with horrible nausea and stomach pain. My friend vomited twice. Totally disgusting and unhygienic place. If you know a festival is on, then prep to have at least the bathroom stocked properly. And employees - Wash. Your. Hands.

A perfectly cooked piece of salmon is hard to find and I found it here. A lovely meal with friends.

I ordered from here and I'm always usually satisfied. Great place! Love the pasta specials!

This is a restaurant I came to often pre pandemic. Covid pickup review. Many / most people inside not masked 0/5 Food was quick and ppl on phone helpful. The food was extra greasey. Not the same level as food in store. Picking up 2 to 4 meals per week in Covid. One of the worst at masking. No one cooking the food in masks. People hanging out indoors no masks. Too bad.

I ordered the following from Uber eats -piatto di pesce (with white lemon sauce):3.5/10 there were lots of mussels and maybe four shrimps. The flavour was kind of weak -lasagna with cheesy garlic bread: 3/5 the lasagna itself was VERRY acidic and a bit too salty. The garlic bread was the BEST IVE EVER HAD 6/5 for the bread -Hawaiian pizza: 3.5/5 pretty underwhelming. But it reheated well. They use pepperoni instead of ham which I wasn't a fan of

Absolutely love this place. Food is always great, service is exceptional and I never have to wait too long. I genuinely enjoy this place and it's a regular for me.

I was craving carbs due to lockdown, I wanted some comfort food! This place did not disappoint. I am taking out my stretchy pants. Loved the pasta rose, the bruschetta, the pizza was heavenly! Tons of leftovers. We will be back! Loved the food.

Went For a friends birthday. Absolutely excellent. From apps to mains & drinks. The service was good, ambiance was friendly, I really enjoyed the experience

food and service were great. however, watch out for the salt on the risotto which had a great texture, lots of fungi but a bit too much salt. the Rapini with the burrata was way too bitter. a simple bed of arugula would have been so much bette. the halibut was a bit over done. all in all , the experience was wonderful and I would definitely go again.

OVERT BLATANT RACISM EXPERIENCED HERE TODAY. OVERT RACISM occurred at this restaurant. I am absolutely DISGUSTED with the behaviour I am a mixed race-black 25 year old woman who visited this restaurant on my birthday with my mom. We didn't have a reservation, We walked in. The owner told us he had no seating for 2 people. He offered the bar or a tiny table right in front of the door. We declined as people come in & out and the door opens and blows freezing cold wind in. We ordered take out and we're waiting Not long after a white couple came in with their probably 5 month old baby. They said the EXACT same thing as us. They did not have a reservation and were walking in. He offered them a much nicer table and even offered to get them a table in the back. I asked him why we weren't offered the same thing. He started to stutter and get defensive and say they were a bigger party of people. (lol the 5 month old who can barley eat food counted....) he also said he offered us that table and that it was no different than sitting at the bar. We disagreed. He began to get irritated. My mom asked if he was racist and he began to get angry and raised his voice and said he was offended and that it was an insult. we asked AGAIN why we were not offered the same. He continued to become extremely defensive and angry. We said we call it how we see it and this was unfair. This man is racist. Its disgusting to see how myself and my mom were treated and even worse on my birthday..... Extremely terrible customer service. We voided the order and left. I left crying. Absolutely will never come to this racist run restaurant again

My 7 year old daughter is ceiliac. I i formed the waitress multiple times. Half way through my daughters dinner she started to feel severely unwell. When i asked the waitress she confirmed that the pasta was not gluten free and barely apologized. My daughter is severely ill this evening and the restaurant still had the nerve to charge foe the rest of the meal which was two appetizers. I am disgusted by this place and will NEVER go back here.

Absolutely love this place! Come here on special dates with my boyfriend. The food is great but on top of that, the service is amazing too! Love the aesthetic of the place , it's literally perfect for a cute little first date where you're really trying to impress someone. I've been to other super bougie restaurants in yorkville and this hands down has better food.

Ironically the experience that occurred this evening mirrors many of the negative reviews. thank you, reviewers, for validating my experience. Hope one of the owners or restaurant owners Domenic Pronesti gets a chance to read this review. Way too much attitude from one employee- please do not read this review if you are a parent or grandparent, or just respect mothers and children. My wife and my son arrived around 9 pm and requested a seat in the back because it was a bit cooler and my wife explained that our child was very young only 7 months old and that we would prefer to sit away from the kitchen where it was hot and noisy. We were advised that it was closed, Several minutes later several couples made their way to the back, my wife made an inquiry and a waiter made a quick change of planes. We were seated in the back. We enjoyed our meal and the service from the waiter who made the arrangement was great. After the meal, we inquired with the original staff that refused to seat us in the back and asked why we were not provided with a seat. He then changed his story from We were closed and do not have space to... "It is by reservation only. I then asked if it was by reservation only why did he not say that it was by reservation? Have been caught in a lie- the male staff said " Who the F@UK are you .... "while glaring and grinding his teeth, he then outright refused, saying that he did not see our "F@cking baby my wife advised him that was not the case, The male staff then said " Who the F*UCK is She", while my 7-month-old baby was sitting in my wife's lap, as someone who treats people with respect I am not going to allow someone to speak to my family or anyone else in the manner in which this staff spoke to myself and my family. The owner of this restaurant should be ashamed to have staff speak to a mother in front of her child in this manner, We would like to advise the general public to avoid visiting or spending their money in this restaurant. The food was great, the blonde server was fantastic and she made the evening. Diego was a gentleman but at the end of the day, who wants to deal with rude, arrogant staff that will curse at women and children. Please avoid this establishment we won't be returning to this restaurant to eat, there were about 15 empty seats at the back maybe if they had the right personnel in place they would have been at capacity. Epic fail on this one. After all that, my wife still had the class and decency to tip the staff. It's like my uncle always taught me you can't teach a class. Never returning to this establishment.

Great food. Delicious pizza and great other food. Great service and ambience. Amazing experience and will go to again.

Super cute restaurant with great decor. Lots of interesting things to look at, almost a bit of a steampunk feel, and the place is bigger than it looks. I got the seafood pasta and it was delicious - very generous with the amount of seafood! They also offered lots of vegetarian options, which was great for my sister. Prices are about average for a middle tier Italian place. Would definitely go again.

Good service. Loved the magic mushrooms appetizer. Prosciutto pizza was delicious and a generous serving. Perfect for sharing.

So i had bookmarked this place and promised myself id go like 8 times & try everything on their menu cause man do I love me some Italian food. Tonight was my first time there .. lets start LET ME TELL YOU. The BEST decision in my food life, was choosing the magic mushrooms for the appetizer . They are an orgasmic MUST. & i will no doubt order that every time I come. I got the fusilli as the main , realllly good, & I love my food well salted but it was a tad too salty for me. My friend ordered the Calabrese and she loved it. (Photos will be posted in a minute) The service was alright, very friendly but had to wait a while for the bill & then to pay the bill.. The place is a bit loud but overall a cute and great place for a date or with friends Table next to us got the pizzas and they were pretty big and yum WILL BE BACK asap to try everything else

One of the few premium Italian restaurants that at least from a delivery perspective sufficiently fill the take away containers with enough food to leave most adults full. The aside , the food itself is what your expect from a premium Italian restaurant , fresh and delicious. Good luck to them through this never ending pandemic.

I ordered the "Lasagna MARGHERITA al forno" off UberEats. The lasagna tasted rotten and it was completely inedible for me.

The food NEVER disappoints. We've recommended this place to multiple people and have ordered in for small dinner parties from here. Highly recommend the Fungi Pappardelle as an entrée and the Nutella Calzone for dessert!

Can I just say what an absolute terrible experience!!! Not only did I order about 70 bucks worth of food, I couldn't even eat it! I ordered take out and was told it would be ready in 40 minutes. So I picked up my order came home (which is 5 minutes away) and it was disgusting! The chicken was hard like it was under the heat lamp for like half hour and still Had some blood. They gave me the wrong side, the wrong order of bread, burnt potatoes. Like come on! I called back requesting a refund and the supervisor was apologetic but I was told they are not allowed to issue refunds and the owner would call me in the morning. A week later and I'm still waiting! Talk about poor customer service and professionalism. Looks like that's the last time I ever grab anything from that place. Thanks for taking my money and making me garbage.

Loved the mushroom risotto that I ordered, it was delicious! This restaurant is quite big and the service was great. There were a lot of items on the menu to choose from for all sorts of taste buds. Highly recommend if you're feeling Italian.

This was our second visit to Ferro Bar and Cafe. Very unfortute visit over the weekend, an attempt at celebrating our 94 year old family members birthday. Our waitress was inattentive, and clearly disinterested in serving. She brought our pizza to the table, and several minutes went by as we were waiting for my grandmothers soup. They reported to my hubby a problem with the kitchen and was told it would be another 5-10 minutes. While things happen it would've been nice to have the communication from the staff about this - as we would've requested the rest of our meal be held so we could all eat together. Its unforutnate as this location is perfect for our elderly family member but we won't be coming back again. We despite the confusion were still charged for the full meal. Covid protocols were lacking- screened at the door but staff needed a lesson in appropriate mask wearing.

This is one of our usual haunts. We go here when we're feeling pizza and pasta. I've enjoyed everything I've had here, from the apps to the pastas on the menu and whatever their special of the day is. Once it was rabbit ragu and I was in LOVE. The place gets pretty busy and crowded, but it's a nice spot for dinner, and the value is quite good.

3.5* here folks. If you got money, 4* without a doubt. The food is great. It's a lovely place. I'd go back. But it's going to cost you. Keep that in mind. But if you find yourself on a steak budget, rather than a McDouble budget, you're good to go here. they put the food on these little wood trays. So cute. And the mushrooms on the bread? That's good. The steak? Not too bad! Ultimately this was a really good experience. I don't know enough about the fancy stuff we had to go into too much detail - but boy was I pleased to eat here, and I'll totally have to go back.

Was not feeling the greatest, but my man companion had convinced me to accompany him for an evening at a restaurant of his choice. To my delight, it was Ferro. I immediately felt welcomed by Mike who suggested we sit at the bar until a table became available. During our time there, I felt comforted by the warm ambiance which consisted not only of friendly patrons but also the personable bar matron. (Not to mention, the kitchen crew hard at work in the open concept designed kitchen, which always adds a more welcoming air.) She inquired as to whether we were eating, we mentioned that a table was being readied for us but we were happy to settle with her prior to moving. I had a pint of Beau's, my partner opted for a delicious Grolsch which isn't as commonly seen on draught. We sat at a cozy table by the front window, yes it was a chilly evening but I dress like a Canadian woman so temperature isn't an issue for this gal. Flowers in an old bottle, and a candle at our high top made it a nice setting. Not too romantic, just perfect was the atmospheric dub influenced music playing over the speakers at a perfect volume. We enjoyed the crostini trio, which is a nice sharing option for a deuce. Oyster and portobello mushroom mix, bruschetta, and a white bean bruschetta (weekly crustini special). The bread wasn't too crusty, perfectly sliced, soft where it should've been and drizzled just so. Nice. I'm big on bruschetta and it was perfect. Since I'm a twig and eat when I'm forced to, we shared a hearty garden salad and the NY strip with peppercorn jus and Asparagus (it's not June, let's be honest they aren't local) and rosemary seasoned potatoes. I normally only eat rib-eye, but they managed to cook this med rare strip and keep it marbelled like I spent 25 bones at the butcher. After some complimentary calzone for dessert, I was left feeling satisfied. Wait and support staff were pleasant, and I look forward to coming back and entertaining friends while trying out the rest of the menu over the holiday season. Might I add, it was busy the entire time we were there (over 2 hours) so it's apparent the atmosphere and food was thoroughly enjoyed by others as well.

They're famous for their magic mushrooms for a reason. Try the trio! It and the fussili are the best things I've tried. I mean save for the rest of the menu. Wonderful staff, service, and ambiance. Their drinks are amazing as is the family that runs it. Overall wonderful place. I always recommend it to people visiting the city and always UberEats it when I'm lazy.

I visited Ferro a couple weeks ago for the first time. It is a wonderful, cozy Italian restaurant on St. Clair West. The food is delicious, the atmosphere casual and friendly. Highly recommend the magic mushrooms and the gnocchi. Pizza was also on point. Will definitely be back here! Would recommend making a reservation for dinner on weekends as it gets quite busy.

Was in town visiting a friend and decided to hit st Clair street and find a foodie gem! Not really known, however we ended up stopping in a ferros which is an Italian style resto. I can say I was impressed with the arrival and decor and can see why it would be a hit with the locals. I chose to sit at the bar which is covered in different stainless steel designs. Awesome feature to an extremely cosy athompehere. We chose to have the red wine on tap which was from the "Niagara" region 4 or 6oz servings... however when we got the bill we were informed differently from the menu and only 4oz serving... (don't let this detour you wine prices flex all the time) We order an sample cheese/meat platter which was fantastic and i swear had the best blue cheese known to man... something from nothern Italy but amazing! Menu is extensive and one thing I did notice was the abundance of pizza deliveries leaving. Maybe this is a great indication for a hidden gem for a great wheel! Over all design and decor are great, open kitchen design and a see through from back to from of establishment. Pros - Decor/Friendliness of staff Cons - Kids at the bar (8pm) on tablets, I didn't think this was sorta of correct given price of foods etc. (Kids are our future but I don't think they belong in this area) Tip - Doors sorta tough to find.

Went here for Valentines Day....it was delicious. Great ambiance, great food.Got the recommendation from TripAdvisor and it didn't disappoint. My boyfriend was also excited because he was able to watch the All Star Dunk contest on one of their 2 TVs by the front/bar area. Appetizer: YOU MUST ORDER THE MAGIC MUSHROOMS! Yum x 1,000,009 Entry: I had the halibut (daily special) and I ate it too I wanted to explode it was delicious. My boyfriend had one of the pizzas and really liked it. Dessert: Flourless Chocolate Cake .... amazing. Not too rich, was able to enjoy all of it. Criticism: Maybe figure out the door situation so it isn't so cold. Otherwise, this is a great date location. Awesome food, with the option to sit by a TV if you want to watch a sporting event, or have that as a backup for conversation.
