The Tuesday night pasta bar was wonderful. Fresh made pasta and create your topping from shrimp, chicken, sausage and meatballs and sauces, pesto marinara or Alfredo and much more!!!

We went with a 10 and 11 year old. The children's menu is really pretty good. The "adult" menu is excellent. The service could be better

Best chocolate martini around! For some reason though, it's not listed on the menu anymore. Still, they were more than willing to make it for me. The atmosphere is nice. It's a great spot to go to for cocktails and a little nosh with a date. It's also a nice spot getting together with friends.

This somewhat Italianate restaurant is located in the Hotel at Auburn University, and exists in part as a training ground for the students majoring in Auburn's hospitality program. With its dimly lit and labyrinthine layout, which guarantees a minimal feeling of crowding, its atmosphere is rustic and soothing. I had four sit-down meals there, and on each occasion the food...
