This post will be broken down into multiple factors with a final grading at the end based on each criteria (5) within the review:
[Background]
Easter Sunday dinner for a family of 3.5 (baby included). Upon arrival there were 4 parties seated indoors (3 at tables, 1 at bar), 1 party leaving the outdoors area.
[Service]
Rating = 5/5
We were greeted within 5 seconds of entering and once they saw the little one in the stroller, one of the main head staff acknowledged we can pick any table, but maybe the corner one is best due to having the little one as well as open space for the stroller. We got our pick and she was correct, we appreciated the kind gesture. We got to the table and the head wait staff saw it was still a bit dirty and she quickly helped to clear/clean it by the time we were ready to sit. This was very nice and appreciative.
Our serve staff, Ashley, was amazing!! Ask for her!! she has the best attitude and her charisma can't be beat. From order to table, it took 12 mins to get pizza (note, we got the appetizer within 7-8mins). She was efficient and overall a great person who enjoys what she does. She will make your evening a lot better and relaxing. All the members there were attentive, but we were fortunate to have Ashley.

Rating = 5/5
We ordered a couple of local brew & ciders.
We also ordered:
-- Jalapeno & Pineapple Wings
-- HopDaddy Pizza
-- Sassy Neighbor Pizza (swap jalapeno for mushrooms)
The wings were AMAZING! Chicken is chicken, that is fine. The flavor/sauce is what makes the difference. Well made. quality sauce, cilantro in the oven was a nice touch. So good, you do not need to ask for Ranch or any dipping sauce. (Also, it was so good, when we got the crust of the pizza, we used the sauce from the wings plate onto the pizza, yum!)
HopDaddy Pizza was good. A bit salty due to the proteins on the topping, like bacon, but that was expected. No complaints, just a heads up.
Sassy Neighbor was amazing. the swap of mushroom with prosciutto and pineapple really helps balance it out. Definitely a great choice if you have another pizza that was strong/rich like the HopDaddy to compliment it. (Note: The pineapple slices on the pizza is from a REAL pineapple, not canned. It was different cut and sliced thin.) We appreciate this fresh ingredient, which others may have missed.

(very opinionated section)
What do you expect from a pizza place? PIZZA, WINGS, DRINKS!! And that is exactly what is on the Menu. We did NOT want to see burgers, pastas, salads, seafood, fries. We wanted pizza, and the main offering is PIZZA! Sorry all you gluten free users out there, the only thing that caught our eyes were, is it Spicy or Not icons.
[Pricing]
Rating = 4/5
This is a pricey place for basic meals. Each pizza (9 in) will set you back about $19 (pre-tax). Appetizer (wings) will set you back about $16. Drinks are normal.
Meal pricing for a party of 3 adults:
-- 2 pizzas
-- 1 appetizer
-- 2 brews
-- 1 coke
= $80 (pre-tip)
Is it worth it... YES! You have to try this local favorite, but being realistic, not something you can go to daily.
[Atmosphere/]
Rating = 4/5
The Indoors dining is not "huge" it can accommodate a dozen tables. The main space will be the nice side outdoors with stage, tables, places to relax, rent out etc. We haven't visited on a normal evening, happy hour, nor weekend, so please take this with a grain of salt, as this can (and should) be a popular local spot, so it may get crowded (please call to verify if you want uptempo crowd or a calming evening out.
[Overall]
Final Rating = 4.75 / 5.0 (rounding up to score a 5 star)
This isn't a "cheap" date night, it isn't meant to be. The quality of ingredients, the atmosphere and the attentiveness of service easily pays for your evening. Will you be eating here everyday? probably not, but if you want a quality meal which your tummy will thank you for and potential some positive memories to be had, this is the place to be!!! Support your local restaurants. You won't be disappointed. We will see you real soon!
