Awesome. The staff helped deal with my 2 y.o. niece, who likes to twirl in the middle of the dining room. All of the room was awesome, the room with the roast beef/bacon/eggs Benedict was regularly re-stocked, and help was available. The Oyster bar was slightly slow, but did not really attract from the experience, since it was delicious. A++++

We love PZA, the food is awesome, service is awesome and the price is more than fair. We have got a few of our friends onto PZA. My favorite is the pear and gorganzola pizza, I tried the mango pork and it might be my new favorite. :) it would be nice to have a gnocchi option that wasn't truffle, cause I love gnocchi but not so found of truffle.

Specifically asked for quieter area as my elderly parents were with us ( for sons birthday) only to be put in crowded, loud area with 2 big birthday parties. When I walked to bathroom I discovered another area that had people seated & it was significantly quieter!!! Out of 8 or so Red wines listed, only 3 were available. Shocking that a Prime Rib Restaurant would only have 8 to choose from when most restaurants have a longer list, but then to be told they actually only had 3 in stock was majorly disappointing when we were going to drop over $500 for dinner ! Everything else was great, great service & food was good too.
