Good date place, or any meal to enjoy at a more upscale atmosphere without the TOTALLY upscale prices. Just because I said "upscale" does not mean you need to dress uber fancy. Still a casual and warm environment.
The meat platter as a small plate/appetizer was great. Pizza was above average (it should be as their tag line is "Wood Fired Oven"). The chicken dish was VERY delicious. I don't remember the name of the fancy sauce to recommend it, besides they change their entrees daily. The cauliflower side was packed with flavor and uniqueness. The waitress we had was very friendly and talkative. She recommended the cookie dessert for our next visit (too full this day). Her tip was to request that they warm it up because apparently, it is not typically served warm. They cater to whatever little requests you make- everything came out exactly as ordered.
I dined at "M" last night for the first time and will definitely be back. Â Great vibe, attentive service and very good food. Â I like the simple menu that offers small plates for sharing and adds some gratins with fresh veggies like cauliflower, eggplant, and brussel sprouts. Â The pizzas were creative and the crust was light and crisp. Â I did not try any of the entrees but will be sure to do so when I return. Â The wine list offered a nice range from good value to the more pricey. Â Overall, if you haven't been give it a try. Â Don't be afraid to bring older children who are willing to experience flavors that they don't usually get at their local pizza place. Â It's great fun for groups and a fun night out. Â Nice work team "M"!
Review Source:Had a great lunch experience there with my sister, and it was the first time either one of us had been there. Â We loved the decor, and the service was very good. Â We shared the olive plate and the cheese plate as our starters and it was a great combo as our server had suggested it would be. Â I had a tomato basil soup, the featured soup of the day and it was very good. Â We shared the featured sandwich of the day, and the ham and cheese was prepared perfectly. Â The owner stopped by and checked on our meal, and was pleased to hear us say it was our first experience there and that we were enjoying it. Â I look forward to going back there for dinner sometime soon. Â Plus I really liked the music they were playing, which included Death Cab, Minus the Bear and Pinback.
Review Source:M Wood Fired Oven is pretty darn good, but I wouldn't say I was wow'ed. I'll be sure to go back at some point, but am not really in any rush to do so.
Things I liked: The pizzas with sauce were great! My friend and I ordered two and anticipated just taking home the rest because we wanted to try more than one version on the menu. We had #4 and #5, and #4 was awesome! Good sauce, the sausage was tasty, and overall delicious. #5 didn't have sauce which we were warned ahead of time, but also suggested as one of the favorites. I loved all the mushrooms topped on the pizza, but it was just so dry that it wasn't my favorite. Even after adding the olive oil, it just wasn't quite as good as #4.
Another great part about this place is the atmosphere! It's cozy, lots of people (on a Wednesday night!), and looked like it had a great bar selection. The malbec I had was especially delicious.
Some things I wasn't a big fan of: Like I already mentioned about pizza #5, it was just too dry. I'll be sticking to the pizzas with sauces. Another thing is that the bottoms of the pizza were covered in soot. The crust wasn't burnt, but with every bite, I my lips were black, my fingers were covered, and my napkin became destroyed. I just didn't like having the soot all over the place.
Overall, it's a great joint and worthwhile to try out. I'm a pizza fan and I wouldn't tell you to go if it wasn't worth giving it a shot!
I loved the decor. The waitress was efficient & friendly. I thought the pizzas were good and the rest of the food was average.
The red velvet cake was not moist. The cookie dessert was good.
If you can walk to the restaurant do it, since there is no parking.
We will give it another try.
I recently went to M with a group of 5 other people. Â I had read good things about it, and was looking forward to eating there. Â I like the atmosphere, and the long, curved bar looks pretty cool.
Unfortunately, the food was lacking. I had the half chicken meal, which was lukewarm at best, and really didn't taste like much. Â But the most disconcerting part was the fact that part of it was blood red. I mentioned it to the waitress and she had the manager come over. He said that it was fine; that it was due to the cooking method of the wood oven. I didn't quite follow (or believe) what he was trying to say, but he certainly wasn't apologizing or about to take anything off of my check. Â So I ate around it, simply because I was hungry -- not because it was particularly good. Â
Two other people at my table also mentioned that their pizzas weren't hot. Â
Bottom line -- I'm not in a hurry to go back.
We got one of the last reservations on a recent Friday night. The decor was interesting and we liked the overall ambiance that the space offered. Reservations are a must though as seating at the bar quickly filled up an there is not ideal space to stand and wait. The wine and beer were both reasonably priced. I split a primal (pork shank) with my husband and it was delicious. I also like the concept of the entree options changing frequently which will keep me coming back. Portion size was good for 18 dollars and the meat fell off the bone it was so tender and juicy. We also split a pizza which I agree with some other reviews, very tasty but a little sparse on the toppings. Â Overall a great experience an plan to go back soon.
Review Source:M. has been popular so the reservation times were lacking and it is diffucult to go there without planning a few days ahead. I was able to pull some strings and get a "reservation" at the bar.
I was going to go with the the bar server's pizza recommendation, but my friend insisted on the Wood-fired mushrooms, pine nuts, pecorino, black pepper, and egg. It was disappointing in that the toppings were sparse to say the least. I also did not favor the crust - dry and tasted like uncooked flour.
The price point was not terrible - got out of there for $22 plus tip. However, I will not order the pizza again.
3.5 stars...why can't I do halves???
You can't miss this place with hell's flames burning away at the entrance. Â Great atmosphere inside...I was there on a Sunday evening with a friend; although it was a little loud, we could still have a conversation across the table without straining. Â I could see it being a touch too loud on a busy Friday or Saturday night. Â As it is smallish inside, I would recommend reservations if you plan to go at a busier time.
The menu is small and on a single page: appetizers, salads, gratin, pizza, and meat dishes (called "Primal" on the menu...ha). Â My friend and I both started off with the house salad - essentially a field-green balsamic salad with cherries and toasted almonds. Â It tasted fresh and the portion size was pretty good...the $8 cost for the salad may have been a bit high, but the flavor was great. Â We also split the VMC (roasted veggies, meat, and cheese) appetizer. Â We assumed the roasted veggies would be the centerpiece of the dish given the wood-fired oven theme, but were disappointed to find it to only be a few pieces of roasted cauliflower and a side salad. Â The portions of prosciutto and cheese were good and the overall flavor of the the appetizer was great.
We split the mozzarella, basil, and tomato pizza - think margarita pizza. Â It was not as hot as I would have liked it, and they could have been a little less stingy with the fresh mozzarella and the basil...I would say that 75% of the pizza consisted of crust and tomato sauce. Â But - the crust was excellent (and I'm picky when it comes to crusts...actually kept eating it AFTER I ran out of toppings...pretty much unheard of for me). Â The crust is thin, slightly crunchy, slightly chewy...good stuff...maybe better than A Tavola's (sorry). Â The pizzas are reasonably priced at $12.00 - 10" pizzas w 8 small slices.
We were too full for dessert, but the dessert menu looked awesome - if anyone tries the orange chocolate dreamsicle cake or the red velvet cake with chocolate cream cheese, please let me know. Â I'm having serious regret over not trying one of them.
Some of the other pizzas looked very interesting and given that I'm trying to conquer my fear of Brussel's sprouts, perhaps the pizza with the Brussel's sprouts will be next on my list. Â I'd also like to try a gratin as well. Â
My bill came to about $25.00 - very reasonable, but my friend and I did split several things. Â I was happy with the experience and would definitely go back.
5 days later - update!!
....aaaaand I went back again tonight...the potato gratin was awesome...the wild mushroom pizza w egg was phenomenal and I did save room for the chocolate dreamsicle cake. Â Oh yeah. Â Disregard the comment about re: 3.5 stars...let's go with 4. Â I'm definitely a fan.
Very warm and homey feel to this place, from the friendly host and wait staff to the reclaimed wood wall that dominates the interior to the wood-fired oven in the open kitchen. The menu is not large, but one salad and all the meat entrees change so it's definitely gives reasons for return visits if you're looking for variety. I did wish for more pizza options--there were only 5 or 6 on the menu, but they all sounded pretty unique.
They have some great regional beers on tap and I loved my Great Lakes Dortmunder lager. I started with the seasonal salad--that night, it was field greens with pears and walnuts--very tasty, but overpriced at $8. I had to try a wood-oven pizza so chose one with shitake mushrooms, peccorino, and an egg on top. It was delicious--thin, flaky wood-kissed crust with just enough body to hold up the toppings and combination of toppings was very flavorful. The peccorino did make the whole thing extremely salty, but that's the only thing I could fault.
With my unfinished slices beside me in a take-out box, I still managed to get through my chosen dessert: an apple pie cookie with vanilla gelato. Not a mind-blowing dessert experience, but a darn tasty cookie.
1 beer, salad, pizza, and dessert was $30 for one person (before tax & tip) so pretty reasonable and everything is very shareable so you could try lots of things with a group without breaking the bank. Blessedly, the place seemed devoid of the sense of inflated self-importance that plagues it's sister restaurant Cumin, and is one I'd be happy to visit again.
For Christmas my wife and I received a gift certificate to the very recently opened M Wood Fired Oven in East Hyde Park. Having concert tickets for Friday night we decided to give M a try before hand. I made a reservation on OpenTable for 6pm and upon our arrival found an approximately half filled restaurant. The inside of the space is decorated in a rustic style and was much larger than I was expecting it to be.
We were immediately seated at a table adjacent to the front door. Fortunately the weather was unseasonably warm during our visit, as the front door was constantly opening throughout our visit, which would be an issue in colder weather. Plus the door doesn't seem to close on its own, which is something that should be fixed right away. Many of the people entering the restaurant didn't have a reservation and must have been given a lengthy wait time as I didn't see many of them stick around and wait for a table.
Anyway, our server appeared at our table within a minute or two of sitting down to take our drink orders. The draft beer list was not on the menu, but our server was able to quickly run through the options even with a very brief description of each. After dropping off our drinks a handful of minutes later, she ran through the menu with us explaining that nearly everything is meant for sharing.
We ordered one item from each of the flora, gratin, and pizza sections, skipping the small plates and primal section that is filled with four different chef's choice cuts of meat that vary each evening. We had requested that the salad come out first, followed by the gratin and pizza. After ten minutes or so our pizza and gratin were dropped off at our table before our salad. It seems that our salad order got lost and when we alerted the food runner a salad was quickly located and dropped off to our table as well. Our server and the manager were both very quick to arrive at our table and offered to remake the pizza and gratin so that it would be ready after we ate our salad. We decline the offer and decided to snack on all the plates together.
Our salad selection was not on the menu but was described as a pear and walnut salad by our server. All salads are $8 and though they were described as enough to share, we found the serving size to be fairly small.
Fortunately for us, through the mix-up with our order another salad was prepared for us and dropped off again by the very kind manager. This was the local greens salad with field greens, romaine, cherries, feta, toasted almonds, and creamy balsamic ($8). Again the portion was not really large enough for the high price. The greens were fresh in both salads, but the flavor combinations of both left a little to be desired. I've had similarly topped salads at other restaurants with way more flavor than what was served at M.
All pizzas are $12 and are plate sized, with enough to share as long as side dishes are ordered. The price of the pizza seems a little more fair than the skimpy salads. Our selection for the night was #3 with Parmesan custard, pickled chili, red onions, pistachios, and rosemary. This was a very unique pizza and the flavor combination was interesting and pretty good. There are five other pizzas on the menu, some of which have equally interesting combinations such as onion soubise, Brussels sprouts, raisins, and shallots.
The highlight of my meal was easily the cauliflower gratin with Brussels sprouts, pine nut crust, cream, and spinach ($8). This creamy dish of fresh veggies was delicious and the pine nuts added the right amount of crunch to the tender pieces of cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. They also offer eggplant, mushroom, and potato gratins but I would find it hard to skip out on the cauliflower.
For dessert I was really considering ordering their bourbon spiced apple pie with cheddar gelato, but our server suggested the pear pie with jalapeño gelato instead. I had never had pear pie before, but it was so similar to apple pie that I hardly could tell a difference. The jalapeño gelato had a nice amount of heat to it that really did compliment the spices in the pie. My only complaint was that the pie was cold, and I would have rather it been warmed up.
My wife went with the s'more cookie, which was served warmed. The middle of the cookie was soft and the chocolate nearly oozed out of the center, but the edges of the cookie were very crisp and impossible to eat with a spoon. I was expecting this to be a knockout desert but I actually enjoyed the pie better.
Despite the hiccups with our order, the service we received at M was efficient and accommodating. The prices are a little high on some of the items based on serving size. From my experience I would skip the salads in the future and focus on the pizza and gratins.
This place is very "meh", in my opinion. Â
M's menu and decor seem a little confused. Â And it's labeled on yelp as a "comfort food" restaurant - which is not really what it is. Â They serve run of the mill salads and cheese plates as starters, then 6 different pizzas, 4 varying meat dishes, and 4 types of gratins. Â It just doesn't seem to jive. Â
I was with a group of 6 - I had the pork shank and substituted cauliflower for the risotto that it was supposed to come with. Â The pork itself was well cooked, but over salted. Â After I tasted my meal then had a bite of my friend's cauliflower gratin (which should be called Brussel Sprout gratin because it had about 85% brussel sprouts and 15% cauli), her gratin tasted so bland. Â But really, mine was WAY too salty and hers was probably seasoned just right. Â Most of the others in our group had pizza. Â I think everyone's sentiment was about the same as mine.....Just ok. Â We didn't try any dessert.
I took a margarita pizza to go - tasted it at home and it was pretty much what you'd expect. Â Moral of the story: Â If you want a wood fired pizza, go to A Tavola in OTR instead.
Our server was nice - upbeat and definitely knew her stuff.
Overall, Cumin, M's "sister" restaurant is light years ahead of M in terms of menu and execution.... and sadly last night as I was leaving M, I noticed Cumin was completely empty. Â Seems most people are abandoning Cumin to give M a try, but I'd advise against it.
I have a rule that pretty much rings true that the shorter the business name, the higher price and "fancier" it is. With M, that is almost the case, but considering the area, the prices and food portions are reasonable.
Mike C's review covers all the bases so it will be hard to add anything other than I agree that M is a nice local restaurant at a price point that will be affordable to most. The atmosphere is relaxed enough that you can dress casual (not that many do here), especially if you sit at the long bar area. It's fun to sit there and watch the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and to see the food cooked in the wood burning oven. It's like A Tavola minus the 2 hour wait. That being said, you should still get a reservation as this is a very hot spot at least for now.
I had an eggplant gratin and a pizza. They were both good, but not great. The pizzas I watched being made seemed to range from really good to so so. Some have way too much crust as the toppings are not spread out enough. Oh well. The pizza with an egg on top looked interesting. I'll have to come back and try the desserts.
Service was decent considering how busy the place was, and I am sure that as time goes on that the servers will find their groove and that M will be another nice restaurant that compliments Cumin and the other chic restaurants in the area.
So I really wanted to like this place based on the descriptions and other favorable reviews on Yelp. Â I feel like Cincinnati needs more local restaurants with a medium price point, similar to A Tavola or Senate, but without the gimmick of pizza or hot dogs, but just regular food. Â I was hoping M would be the place. Â I've been twice now and the 3-star review is a combination of the two visits. Â
PARKING: Â I've never been a fan of parking around this area of Hyde Park, whether it's coming here, or down the street at Keystone. Â It's always hard to find parking. Â They did have valet for both M and Cumin when we went, but we were able to park on one of the side streets.
ATMOSPHERE: I like the ambience and decor of the restaurant. Â Pretty modern. Â You can see the big wood-burning oven. Â
SERVICE: The two times I've been, I've had the same waitress, and have not had any problems with the service mentioned in the other reviews. Â The first time I went was within the first week they opened, so you would definitely expect them to have some problems at that time. Â My water was refilled as needed, and she was always there at the right time check on us, clear plates, etc.
FOOD: Â Here's where I've had the mixed review. Â The first time I went, we had the pizza with pecorino, mushroom and egg on top. Â At first I didn't really like it, but then it grew on me. Â The second time, had the homemade sausage pizza. Â I actually like the egg pizza more. Â The sausage and the pizza sauce didn't really have much flavor. Â The gratins are pretty good. Â Cauliflower is probably the popular one. Â LIked it more the first time I had it. Â The mushroom one wasn't really all that memorable. Â The pork on the night we went was shoulder. Â It was maybe a little overcooked. Â They offer whole-fish, which I usually like. Â Getting that with a date may not be the best idea when you have to pick though bones. Â For dessert, we had a bourbon apple pie with cheddar gelato. Â I thought it was a good and tasty dessert, but I since it was described as a bourbon apple pie with cheddar gelato, I was hoping for more bourbon flavor in the pie and slightly more cheddar flavor in the gelato....though that might have made it actually taste funkier in a dessert.
OVERALL: Â A nice addition to the Cincinnati food scene. Â It's pretty laid back and the price of most things on the menu is pretty reasonable. Â I will probably be back if looking for a more casual dinner location.
For what it is, I would rate M with 5 stars. Â We sat at the bar and watched them make pizza which was a fun time. Â The pizza is as close to what I can get in Italy (I travel there often) - crsipy on the edges and chewy in the middle - quite excellent. Â I do think they could have an expanded offering of toppings - perhaps that will come as the restaurant matures. Â The gratin with cauliflower, brussel sprouts and spinach is out of this world good. Â
I read some of the negative reviews so was a little bit hesitant about eating at M. Â . Â Although I do think the service can improve (in particular the bar service) - our service wasn't bad and did not detract from the meal. Â I also found pricing on the menu and thought they were reasonable.
I give M the same 5 star rating I gave A Tavola. Â Great food, reasonable prices, a great add to the city and in particular the Hyde Park neighborhood.
This restaurant may get a re-review after they've had a few months to get all of their kinks worked out, but for now I think 2 stars is appropriate.
My husband and I live just up the street so we had been waiting for this place to open. We went, sat forever and then we went home and ate leftovers from the night before - to sum it up.
Our service was alright - nice waiter, but not attentive. The food left something to be desired. We shared a salad that was super fresh, eggplant gratin that was insanely overcooked (the eggplant looked like dried fruit and the cheese or at least what I think was at one point cheese was hard as a rock) and a pizza that our waiter did not describe appropriately. The pizza was good - I'd definitely get your own and not share because it is small and thin and you'll be hungry (and I'm not a big person so it's not like I'm being gluttonous). We didn't try any of the meat dishes because they seemed crazy overpriced for what they are.
I think the night we went, they were switching systems or something because it was a total madhouse in the open kitchen. Like I said, I think this place probably has potential but I'd wait a few months until they have their stuff together.
We had a wonderful meal at M. Â Great, efficient service (although we were there at 5:30), and the atmosphere is modern but cozy (think A Tavola but with chairs that are actually comfortable and tables big enough for four people). Â
Between the four of us, we got the whole fish, two gratins, and three pizzas: Â margharita, homemade sausage and apple, and mushroom. Â My brussels sprout and cauliflower gratin was amazing. Â The husband's mushroom gratin was basically just roasted mini bellas - good but simple. Â All three pizzas were delicious, but the homemade sausage was my favorite. Â The crust is woodfired but soft, and their red sauce was perfect. Â The only let downs were the VMC appetizer, which was just small for what it was, and the salad which was also small and not very exciting. Â
I had a glass of the pinot noir which was delicious and well priced at $7.  We ended  with what might have been my favorite part of the meal, a homemade apple bourbon ginger pie.  Apparently they have a pastry chef who make all three of the pie options.  I'm looking forward to trying their other desserts!
Overall I was really pleased with the service, atmosphere and the food. Â To top it off, I felt that everything was very reasonably priced. Â We definitely over-ordered this time, but next time I think we'd be good to share a pizza with a few sides (and dessert!)
Finally - this place is hard to find on the internet! Â Does it even have a website?
Pluses: Pizza crust was perhaps my favorite, ever, anywhere. Atmosphere and staff demeanor manage to be edgy without pretentiousness. Desserts are clever, fresh, Â and cheap. Â Wines by the glass, even if limited in number, are well-chosen and not overpriced.
Minuses: Service, while otherwise flawless, was less than prompt. Â The huge, un-buffered front doors mean a constant draft of chilled air in cold weather; an issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Â Toppings on the pizzas, though novel and of fine quality, were decidedly minimalist. Â Sauce was forgettable, and not even an ingredient on some pizzas.
Summary:  The last thing I wanted to do this evening was go to YET ANOTHER pizza place, but there I was.  After parking a full block away, and entering the front door as quickly as possible when I noticed the hair of nearby patrons (literally) blowing in the wind, and then being asked whether I had a reservation, I had a chip on my shoulder and was determined to make a list of what I didn't like.  That chip disappeared quickly when no fewer than three staff members scoured the restaurant for a spot so that I wouldn't have to wait.  In a world where hosts are often the people too unintelligent or young to wait tables, the earnest effort was refreshing.  Ending up at the (surprisingly comfortable) bar overlooking the spotless kitchen, I was able to really watch the operation first hand:  One person to roll out the dough to order by hand, another to take care of the toppings, a third to manipulate the pizzas into, around, and out of the oven; and yet a fourth person to add final ingredients, cut the pizzas, and co-ordinate the plating with a foodrunner.  I shudder to think of their labor costs, but the effort paid off, and the kitchen operated  far more smoothly than any two-week-old restaurant  could hope for.  If you were there during the first few days (and I'm told they were tense and rocky), please know that they worked the kinks out very quickly, and that you should visit again before judging them poorly.  My Caesar salad was a $12 quality in a $3 portion, for $8.  The pizza crust was perfection, which made more sense after experiencing the pie crust at dessert: A very, very talented pastry chef had to have authored both of those masterpieces.  DO NOT miss dessert, here. I will return here again and again, though to earn 5 stars, they're going to have to address the front door monsoon wind issue, give me a $4 priced (or an $8 portion) of Caesar salad, and offer to explain the non-pizza choices other than by animal name.  By all means, put this place on your "go try" list.
I really, really wanted to like this place. My husband and I live nearby, and we watched the restaurant's progress with anticipation. We went for the first time tonight and it was...not great. The service was a little bit awkward--not horrendous, but not good. Our server didn't come by our table for several minutes, and then gave us the menus and left. Later she came by and waited for us to make our order, but hadn't given us any explanation of the menu. Since the format of the menu is that part of it is listed only by protein name ("pig" "chicken", etc, with no description) we obviously needed an explanation of what those dishes actually, um, consisted of. You'd think that would be a pretty basic principle of restaurant service--explain dishes (better yet, print descriptions on the menu).
My husband and I split a tossed green salad, sausage and apple pizza, and a pork dish. The pizza was good--crispy crust sort, with high quality toppings. The salad was fine: just greens with lemon vinaigrette. The side dish that came with the pork--roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower--was yummy. The pork itself royally sucked. I was told it was pork shoulder, so I assumed it would be braised in some way (again--no menu descriptions) but when it arrived, it looked more like a slightly undercooked pork chop. Eating it was no better: there was a thick strip of uncooked fat surrounding the whole thing, and the meat that wasn't really fatty was chewy and gross. After we'd eaten about a third of it, I noticed a blood spot in the pork. Definitely undercooked. I was uncertain of whether you can eat pork pink (I just Googled it and apparently you can) but I still don't understand this method of cooking a cheap, tough cut of meat. How would they think that was even remotely okay?
Also, when we got the bill we saw that my husband's two draft beers (Brooklyn Brewery IPAs of some kind) were 8 bucks each. I feel like that's a bit much. The whole place kind of reeked of slightly overpriced and slightly undergood food. Our bill came out to 75 bucks including tip for a mediocre meal--I could have had better at Nada or hell, even Keystone, for less. I'll give them a bit of a pass on the service, since they only opened a week or two ago, but other than that, I was disappointed. Oh, but the decor and ambiance are really nice.
I was super excited to check this place out. Â It's near my house, and by default you want places near your house to be good. Â Plus, it looked cool when you walked by - the walls are some sort of reclaimed wood and there's a brick, wood-burning oven? Â Who doesn't like a brick, wood-burning oven?
The place is almost all show. Â The pizza is excellent - you could come just for that. Â But the salad is lacking, the pork is masquerading as gourmet, and the draft beer is extremely overpriced (and the price of it isn't listed on the menu). Â In short, if you stripped this place of its shine, it would leave you disappointed.
I don't know if we'll be back. Â We should be back, since it's so close by. Â But with so many other options in the neighborhood, I'll be surprised if we give them another dollar.
Had cheese plate, Cesar salad, cauliflower gratin, and tomato sausage apple pizza. All were very good. Place was very busy on their second night. Atmosphere was lively without being distracting. Interior is well done. Â Smores cookie and gelato is fantastic. A good addition to East Hyde Park
Review Source:Great first night! Â We have been watching the progress of this restaurant for quite a while now. Â It is right around the corner from our house and we were excited to find out that it was opening. Â We stopped in for dinner around 5 before going to see the Nutcracker. Â Â When we got there we were the second table there. Â It is a nice space, which I would describe as upscale casual. Â Simple menu with starters, salads, pizzas, meat dishes, and gratins. Â Didn't really see anything I didn't want to try. Â I always appreciate when there are fewer appealing options vs five pages to go through. We started with the olives. Â Followed with the buffalo mozzarella pizza, and shared a gratin of cauliflower and brussels sprouts which was really delicious. Â The pizzas are thin crust 12 inch 6 slice pies. Â Similar style to A Tavola. Crust was delicious. Â It was enough food for the two of us with room for dessert. Â We had root beer cake, but there were lots of other great options. Â Â Very excited to have easy access to such a great place. Â They are planning on being open until 1 am seven days a week. Â No lunch. Â We were asked about what we would improve and couldn't really think of anything. Â Only non-food related issue was that sitting by the door was fairly chilly with everyone going in and out. Â Hopefully, they fix that before it gets even colder out. Â We will be back for more very soon!
