Exploring and craving Italian food, I came across this location which has great reviews. Upon arrival plenty of parking , mid day place was empty with no wait time. Place is nice and clean and open with outside and indoor dining, I liked their gluten free options but disappointed because no bread is available to order during lunch hours only dinner and I love to enjoy my pasta with bread. I ordered the penne Michelangelo gluten free pasta, sauce was bland little oily and the pasta was cooked well. The order of the fettuccine cartoccio had several sea food, sauce also oily and the calamari was inconsistent with some under or overcooked. Lastly was the grande lasagna bolognese and it was overstuffed with ricotta cheese overpowering everything and a little oily as well. Not sure if its a place I would come back to but was disappointed with the oily, bland sauces and the no bread with pasta.

We were seated at a dirty table. Restaurant cleanliness, wait staff service and food safety are substandard as usual. It's like a Denny's standard to be this bad nation wide.There are no gluten free options because everything is cross contaminated. My mouth is swollen and I'm hacking up phlegm. Asked for decaf and it smelled sour. We asked for separate checks, didn't get it. Asked for crispy hashbrowns, didn't get it. Every trip to Dennys reminds me why I don't eat here and neither should you.

Really good i got the grilled fish tacos. Waiter double checked that it said corn tortillas because I have celiac and require a gluten free diet. Cod melted in my mouth and food was the perfect temperature. It all tasted so fresh. All waiters and servers were very kind. Chill environment and comfy seating

Pretty standard bagel cafe. I loved they had gluten free bagels (plain and whole grain) and plenty of cream cheeses and filling options. I tried the smoked salmon scrambled (breakfast) and it was delicious. The pineapple juice was ok. I think next time I'll try the freshly squeezed orange juice instead.

This new fusion concept is just gorgeous. This living room occupies the space that was a Starbucks and a small Italian restaurant. The left side of the space is the café side and the right is the restaurant. The menu is delightful and the ambience memorable! The only good addition would be a little more options for gluten-free.
