    Great patio. Friendly waitstaff. Sadly the kitchen has no idea what they are doing. My husband ordered the trout and risotto both of which were completely overcooked. The trout was like crispy cardboard and the risotto was so stiff it had to be cut with a knife. I ordered the veggie pizza which per the menu comes with burrata and ricotta and it came out with only mozzarella. The waitress apologized and came out with two small ketchup sized cups of cold cheese. With the look on my face she said, oh would you like them warmed up? She came back out with the reheated now burnt same pizza. Granted the crust tasted great. Then I realized it didn’t have the asparagus as advertised either. This time the manager came over and ended up comping the pizza. I will say the happy hour prices and wine selection are great. Just don’t order entrees. Oh and we tried a slice of the “NY style cheesecake” which was clearly from a bulk store and the menu said “mixed berry compote” and it was just frozen, reheated blueberries. Really disappointing. Just seems they are now trying to cut corners and not deliver on what you are paying for.

    New favorite patio added to my list! Surprised to find out they have live music Tuesdays and Thursdays nights!! Food and Service was outstanding, accompanied with a full bar for drink options. Definitely going back to take advantage of their Happy Hour prices!!

    Wonderful Moody ambience. Menu is small but packs lots of interesting fun flavors. Always something new and different to enjoy.

    Great place to relax and enjoy some wine. They do have live music and I'd recommend the outdoor seating. I would suggest coming in for happy hour with the good drink and food specials. The service was great and I felt I was well taken care of. I recommend the ceviche and the bruschetta. I'll be adding this new spot to my favorites!

    Visited for a girlfriends trip to Phoenix and dined divinely! We had several types of the cocktails and a variety of the tapas items. Sitting on the patio was awesome, and Eden, our server, provided outstanding service. The four of us highly recommend a visit here, and we wouldn't hesitate to return!

    Nice ambiance inside, and the patio is a perfect setting for luncheon with a friend or small gathering. Light fare and small plates - this isn't the place to go if you're a big eater......or really hungry. But the cocktails are lovely and it's a cute place. It's quite a hideaway - you wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for it. I've been twice - both times around lunch. Wasn't too busy or crowded. It is a great place to hang out and catch up with a friend.

    Spectacular food and wine bar. The picture is of a glass of red Zinfandel and the Smoked Salmon on Corn Cakes tapas, was excellent. They have seven different salads, multiple soups, wood fired pizzas, eggplant ricotta lasagna, lamb chops, sea bass, steak sandwiches, peach cobbler... Just a whole assortment of great stuff. Great place, quaint atmosphere, A+!

    This is a quaint little wine bar on North Central avenue with a beautiful patio and a small but stylish interior. Food is excellent and do yourself a favor and try one of the pizzas from their wood fired oven. We tried brunch and the crab cakes eggs Benedict was fantastic along with their breakfast flatbread. I've been going here for years and it never disappoints

    Brunch was fantastic. Food was fresh and plated beautifully. Drinks were balanced and made to order (extra spicy Bloody Mary!!). We absolutely loved the courtyard setting.

    Beautiful place. However $31 for lamb chops entree and the meat was sub par to have been "marinated" beforehand and dry. Two pieces of asparagus? And buttered down couscous....if it wasn't for the pregnancy craving for the meat I'd have gotten my money back right then. I'll stick to the Mediterranean places where they know how to meal prep lamb chops appropriately. Seriously 😒

    Came out for the live music as I had seen and enjoyed the guitarist [Scott] they have some of the best pizza in town! Loved the homemade feel and unique flavors and that it's baked in a wood fired oven! Nice cozy , shady dog-friendly patio with heaters and a big firepit area that's also great for large groups. indoor bar / seating available as well. Will definitely be back! Wish they'd advertise better .a sign facing the road, or put a deal on Groupon or LocalDines because you can't see the building or what it is well from the street driving by.

    Michaela was super friendly and professional, our food was absolutely delicious with great presentation and excellent flavor , a definite must if you're in the area. Their beet salad was divine, just the right amount of dressing.

    Finally found a favorite Date night spot! Worth the 40 minute drive! The atmosphere both indoors and outdoors are nice and cozy. The service has been very friendly. The Manhattan and old fashion were perfect(which is hard to find). Don’t miss out on the cornbread to start. Neat experience watching the chef cook right in front at the wood fire stove. The first visit my husband got a pizza and it was amazing. Don’t forget about dessert, the warm peach cobbler was hard to share because I wanted it all to myself haha. Going to be our go to spot when dining out! Can’t wait to try more things.

    Have visited just once but plan to go back many times. What a cool place. It's dog friendly on the patio and the patio is the best. My friends and I love meeting here for happy hour. Service is the best. Must order: the peach cobbler. OMG.

    When pulling into the modest parking area, the 1st feature you see is a gorgeous patio, with shade trees! Fall is really coming and Timo’s is a comfy place to enjoy it. Timo’s hosted a wine tasting event last Eve and they did a great job. One of the most expansive cheese trays was presented. They also did mini prosciutto/goat cheese/ corn muffin slider. My FAM had scoped the full menu and we will return for the tasty options. One small request is a broader price range for the wine bottles; there were very few in the high $20 or low $30 range. Perhaps they have a half price bottle night? Regardless, this should be on your bike or downtown explore list - just north of the Canal in Sunnyslope.

    My husband and I absolutely adore this place. Stephanie always takes good care of us and the food is to die for! The pizza may be the best we've ever had. We know this is a very bold statement!!!!

    Tonight I brought 20+ ladies from my social club here and I can't speak highly enough of how they took care of us. Great service, great food, Amazing Sangria! We were outside on the beautiful patio around the large fire pit and it was perfect! Our server Kaitlin was awesome. We will definitely be back! Jason the manager (owner?) was great to coordinate with and was so helpful in accommodating us!

    Been wanting to try this place for years. Finally did when a friend treated lunch for my birthday. I had the lamb chops tapas plate, he had a chicken parm lunch special. Both came with petite side salads. Everything was delicious and his "half" sandwich was huge. Service was just a wee bit slow but they were hosting a holiday party on the patio and staffing is a challenge everywhere these days. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. My friend mentioned my bday and they gave us a choice of a free dessert, which was also yummy. The indoor space was nearly empty when we arrived but a little loud regardless, with music pumping and voices chattering. Not a problem for us but a consideration for those wanting an intimate setting or those sensitive to noise. It was a good experience for us so I will return. My friend liked his meal so much, he said he wanted to go back in as we were leaving the parking lot! 😁

    Very cool spot, eclectic menu and cool vibe. Service was great but short staffed, took quite a while for entres but worth the wait. Black Manhattan was amazing! Destiny was the best! Very accommodating and easy to work with. Will be back.

  • 5/5 Kathie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great experience sitting on the patio, eating some delicious food and listening to some really good music from David Sheehy. The atmosphere on the patio is relaxing with the right amount of ambiance. Your food choices range from Tapas's to wood fire pizzas. The acoustic music by David set the right mood for our night of dining. If you're looking for a place to bring friends this good be the place.

  • 4/5 Ginger R. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely little place. Beautiful, garden like patio that was perfect for a relaxed happy hour. We ordered off the happy hour menu. The food was tasty, though the portions were a bit small. Come here for snacks. Not sure if the entrees would fill you up if you ordered for dinner. Also, be aware that parking can be a challenge. They do take reservations so that's a definite plus.

    Place is very cozy. Hood is good. My dog can enjoy nice shady patio.

  • 5/5 Cara S. 2 years ago on Google
    First time here, and won't be the last. Our waiter, Alex, was so honest, friendly and attentive. The pesto pizza, caprese salad, scallops, and peach cobbler were to die for!!! Such a cozy place, cute place. The Black Manhattan is a must!

  • 2/5 Valerie R. 2 years ago on Google
    Tonight service was awful. We stood for 5 minutes waiting to be seated then the guy walks in the gate behind us tp seat us . Then it was another 5 minutes after being seated to be acknowledged and be told that some would be brining us water and menus. Well that took another few minutes. Then we waited another 5-8 minutes for someone to take our drink order. By this time we almost walked out. We had arrived at around 5:30 for happy hour. By the time our drink and salad order was placed it was 5:52 . We ordered our food when the food comes comes we were asked if we wanted cheese and peppers for our pizza we said yes. And then we waited again while our pizza was getting cold. Finally we decided to eat without it. We were done with our first slices by time it came and this was after waiting to get it in the first place. Finally the bill comes. We are overcharged. She rang up 4 glasses of wine not 3 then our salad was full price instead of the happy hour price. We had to call the server over to fix this. Just an overall bad experience. We had eaten a few times and always enjoyed it but not this time. The food was good but not for the service we received.

    Phenomenal. As usual. They host our monthly sales team dinners and never disappoint. The staff, the food, the atmosphere is always on point

  • 5/5 Matt B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, great atmosphere! More than just wood fired pizza! Steaks and great seafood too! Full bar with exciting house special cocktails. A little pricey, but well worth it!! And, as a huge bonus, not crowded on a Friday eve at 6 PM!! Maybe this was due to being Friday of 4TH of July weekend and everyone was on the road, but nice not having a shoulder to shoulder, roaring loud dining experience for date night with the woman of my dreams! Try this place! Remember, great food isn't cheap, and cheap food isn't great!
