We enjoy sitting upstairs or on the back patio in nicer weather - so many options for a get-together with friends. Service at the bar and the food service counter are excellent. Staff are friendly and always have helpful suggestions. We recently came for Sunday lunch the week of Christmas, and there wasn't much of a crowd. This was great for a relaxed lunch with the kids and brother visiting from out of town. Plenty of seating! There are kid-friendly options here, with the pizza and pub snack menu. My picky daughter (not a fan of pizza) enjoys the pretzels. There is something for everyone. The salads have fresh ingredients, made-to-order. Pizzas on the menu are excellent and can also be modified or build-your-own. Pizzas and other hot appetizers come out on paper-lined pans. When ordering salads, they come in a takeout box rather than a plate or dish. You may need an additional box or plate, because the salads are packed full and you might have a mess! Utensils are plastic. There is a bit of a disconnect because the food and overall cozy vibe seem worthy of real plates and silverware ;) but the plus side is quick table turnover on the busy days or the days where everyone is out on the patio. It's nice to be able to order and pay at the food service counter. You will want to stay a while, but you'll be free to leave whenever you're ready to move on to your next stop!

Shelves are faced and full with unique, intriguing meat market driven products including a few decent selection of sundry products to fill a light shopping list. IMO though after purchasing almost $100 in steaks, pork and sausage products was disappointed with the quality at the plate. The thick cut pork chop were great, juicy and filled a large diner appetite. However the thick cut porterhouse, costing $27 was tuff when cooked to MMR, this was a big downer we had expected a whole lot more. the Link breakfast sausage was under seasoned it left us thinking it didn't bring anything special to the breakfast meal. We do expect to give you folks another try in the future. Thank you for the opportunity to experience your store.

We loved the food, the alcoholic drinks ive had are pretty bad, not balanced at all.

I do wish they garnished the food with fresh herbs. I had to ask for black pepper, fresh parm and parsley for the bread and my entree. Other than that I highly recommend.

The front desk had 3 to 4 young girls hanging out "talking" and not paying attention to the wait list of customers. They randomly called out names from the list but, not in the order people came in. Problem was they were too busy chatting. Very frustrating! The bus boys take 15 minutes to clear a table and then constantly attempt to take your food while you're still eating. Clearly these teenagers were not trained at the Telegraph location or don't care. Going from 2-3 rimes a week to zero.......Will not eat at any of the G Family restaurants again.

We were seated right away in the middle section of the restaurant, and one of the first things I noticed was the recent remodel. The updated interior looks very nice and gives the restaurant a refreshed feel. For my meal, I ordered the Chicken Florentine along with a Nonna salad. My wife went with a pizza, my mother-in-law chose the spinach salad, and my father-in-law ordered the lunch spaghetti and meatball special. Our server did a great job throughout the meal--keeping drinks refilled, checking on the table regularly, and making sure everything was taken care of. Our food arrived about 20-25 minutes after ordering, and everything looked great and tasted even better. I've always enjoyed Joe Boccardi's pizza, so before leaving I ended up ordering two large pizzas to go. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience, and everyone left happy with both the food and service.

Well yes the spinach is healthy but it was loaded with bacon and also had a yummy hot bacon dressing! Delicious however I really liked the sandwich! I mean it was fabulous. They had some type of yummy sauce on it. And lots of meat. This establishment has always had quite a following; our friends said it was always busy. And we may return soon for their burger special since those are supposed to be so good.
