There were plenty of open tables at this place, BUT don't let that deter you from checking it out! Felt the pasta dishes were overpriced, so we ordered pizza and appetizers to share. Pizzas are about the size of the menu with slices. Table favorites were the following: Appetizer (Foccacia bread- butter was on the salty side, I recommend eating plain unless you like salt), Pizza (Goat Cheese, Squash and Brussels sprout with balsamic drizzle along great combo) and Dessert (all we ordered were delicious Banana Cream Pie (strong banana flavor with slices of actual banana) and doughnuts (warm with what tasted like a apple pie reduction sauce on the side). Wouldn't order again: Fried Bread lack of flavor, but good texture, Calamari (weren't chewy but would try other options before ordering again). Cocktails, easily table favorite was the REDRUM Punch reminded me of glogg. If you like floral flavors recommend Petal Pusher it puckered the mouth quite a bit so if you don't like sour don't order this one. Overall, would return for the Squash pizza and desserts. Prices were a little high on certain menu items, so check out the menu before heading over. It's a decent place to go when you can't get into more trendy spots in the area.

We did not have to wait a single moment for anything, the wait staff was watching us like hawks the whole time. It was a little creepy but my friends and I enjoyed how weird and hilarious the experience was for us. We probably won't go back because of the really strange ambiance and the fact that we thought we were about to be inducted into a cult, but the food was fine.
