Mike Mosher: the garlic chili oil is awesome with any pasta (and even better if you add a chicken breast). the spinach salad is always super fresh, and the iced tea is refreshing.
Judy Danch: fresh made pasta, good, casual, and have take home packs.
Marty Hope: The lasagna with Italian Sausage was really delicious. However, the lemon vinaigrette tossed in the greens was the standout for me. Simple, delicious obviously freshly made. Yum!
Karen Maria Capo: The Blues Jam every Wednesday night is SO good!9 - midnight. The Fish & Chips are dee-lish, but youhave to get there BEFORE 9 to order them!
CD Merricks: Never a cover and always a friendly conversation along with some of the most talented musicians in the PNW!!!
Steve Grande: Love the jazz and late night hours! In our 60's and don't feel out of place with the 20, 30, 40 something's here. Jazz is for all ages.
Nancy Ackley: AMAZING vegan cheesy bread. They have 3 different types of vegan cheese you can choose from. Get a side of the dill ranch for dipping. Had to come back for more!
Tim Trautmann: This place is kind of weird. Think sports bar circa 1992. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Not really gourmet. More like standard sports bar pizza. Staff is super friendly though.
Heather Mader: Pizza, calzone, chicken wings, sandwiches, customer service and people are awesome.

Christine Samara: The penne broccoli was bland, too oily, had no other flavor and the garlic in my dish was burnt. I added chicken breast which did not enhance the dish. It came cut in pieces, was dry and overcooked.
Christian B: The fried mozzarella was delish. I also had the putanessca with homemade Italian sausage, which was good too.
Randy Thio: Don't forget reservations. Fills up quickly. Read more.
