This place smells great before you walk in the door! The bar was packed and so was the dining area - apparently others had the right idea, too! My group ordered fried or baked raviolli, a large Julius Cesear salad with the dressing on the side, and a medium Bistro Classic pizza, half with very little cheese. First, the order was done perfectly. There was even extra marinara without charge that came along with the baked raviolli. The pizza did come with half light cheese, too. The most impressive part of this midday meal was the salad, a hill of romaine lettuce, parmesean cheese and the best croutons I've ever tasted. \n\nAlthough it was a little early in the day, the Dirty Monkey was freaking awesome and packed a nice little punch to help me get on with the rest of my day. \n\nWithout a doubt, I would return here with a group of people to share similar foods. The reason it was not five stars is because there was cheese on everything, so if you don't do well in the lactose-digesting department you may want to make sure you can handle it that day. The second issue was for some reason the pizza crust seemed like it was sweet. I've never heard of a sweet flat crust before, but the garlic on the pizza certainly masks the sugary crust. \n\nOther than that, a fabulously bustling environment with super friendly staff, drinks to get you drunk faster, and a hearty menu for those who really like cheese and sweetness.
