Had an excellent time here with family. We had reservations for 20, and the service was over the top. The food was delicious, and the portion serving was just right. Could use some better lighting, but all was well. I recommend the lobster ravioli!

There is an older lady waitress that makes a big deal out of where you sit. She yells across the room. It makes me want to leave. I come here weekly and she has made families move and they looked embarrassed. This is ongoing tonight I could hear her say who would get me. Ugg, I just came here to eat. The nice waitress I got was Sandra and she let me sit at the table I wanted. I have had great service but will not stay if it is the older lady waiting on me. She is rude.

My family and I were actually on our way to the location in Lubbock (we love it there) and then I discovered that there was a location closer to Midland! Well we arrived and my first impression was that this place was spacious and clean. Our waitress was lovely and always made sure to check on us. The food was fantastic, the fried raviolis + the calamari are a favourite of mine. The pizza was delicious although our food came in big portions so we had to take the pizza home. That was totally fine with me anyways my husband scarfed it down the next day. Lovely atmosphere and customer service was excellent. We will be back soon! (Also I was genuinely surprised to have such big pieces of shrimp, I haven’t had any that big since I moved to the U.S.)

5 stars across the board. Nice little place in the square, real clean, our waitress was very helpful and attentive. And the food, my goodness, the food was amazing. I would probably eat here once a week if I lived here. Come check it out.

We both had the chicken Caesar salad and it was excellent, with small, moist pieces of grilled chicken and very fresh romaine with nice cheese and thin bread slices. Yum! Excellent service, too, and we are planning on coming back for lunch tomorrow. It was the best meal we have had in Lamesa!

We waited for our food 45 minutes after we ordered. The server stopped by once to ask if we were still okay. I asked about the food, she said the cooks were only used to making pizza, so it was probably taking longer. I finally went to the counter to ask when the food would be ready. The head server checked on the food, then it came out about 10 minutes later. The chicken piccata was okay, but I would get something different should I go again. I was appreciative that the head server came by to let us know that he had spoken to the manager, and they were giving us a complimentary desert. It was very good.
