I stopped here with a friend for lunch and it was great. The menu is be creative and they offer their own spin on a lot of different dishes. The service was extremely friendly and attending as well. We started with the smoked salmon, which we really liked. I always like when smoked salmon comes with a lot of things like cucumbers and radishes and they definitely delivered. I even had the French onion soup, which I thought was very good as well. We then ordered the shaved Brussels sprout and pancetta pizza because we were so curious. We were really surprised by this pizza and really enjoyed it. I also really liked the mango lemonade I had too. Everything was great and I look forward to going back!

This gem just happened to be near our hotel. So glad! I had The Pearl Sammy and it was fabulous along with truffle fries. My friend enjoyed The Last Supper too. Service was top notch. Atmosphere was comfy artsy. Would come back to town just for this.

Was excited to try this place after seeing all the positive reviews and it did not disappoint. It’s a cute place with only a handful of tables and some window seats as well. We went for dinner to try the pizza and it was delicious! You can tell the dough and ingredients were all fresh. We didn’t try dessert but they had a ton of yummy options to choose from too. Would definitely come back!

Great atmosphere and fun/inviting decor. We stopped in for one of their Friday Night Date Night specials and no disappointments were had…nearly had to be rolled out of there, with leftovers. It was a great way to explore the menu as first-timers. I believe they are BYOB (all the drinks are exquisitely crafted, but booze free…still absolutely delicious) but you’ll leave feeling intoxicated by the RIDICULOUSLY GREAT FOOD!

Unique dining experience in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Stopped in for lunch and shared a salad and 12 inch horseradish steak wood oven pizza. The waitress split the roasted apple salad into 2 portions for us to share. Both were delicious and we will definitely be back.

Fresh, tasty, quirky food selection with a quick ticket time. Very clean place with a rustic comfort vibe. The tables are a little high for 5'4" shorties like me, but they're manageable. The prices are on the $$ higher end, though the quality is fair. It was my first time here with my husband but I'm sure it won't be the last time. Next time, we're thinking of trying the pizza. The topping selection reminds us of Amberdonia's. What was ordered: 1. Mushroom soup with grilled cheese croutons 2. Seared steak with arugula, egg, and hollandaise sauce on a crostini 3. Grilled chicken with roasted peppers 4. Caramelized pears with walnuts and Bleu cheese 5. Blueberry turnover 6. Peanut butter chocolate cake This order came to $62 before tip for (2) people. My only complaint is that there didn't seem to be enough steak on the plate to warrant a $19 price tag.
