I recently dined at Slay and was thoroughly impressed! From the warm, inviting ambiance to the exceptional service, every detail was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend trying their Risotto —it was unforgettable!

Lazaro and Jordan were attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a night out with friends, Slay is a fantastic choice. Can't wait to return!

Wonderful service and atmosphere. Celebrated my mom’s birthday here and they take hospitality so seriously! It’s very good to see. The manager was truly amazing, he was so accommodating and caring that we genuinely had a wonderful night here. Thank you! Forgot to take pictures of other dishes we got, but it was great!

Slay offers a charming atmosphere and a menu with great potential, though a few areas left room for improvement during my visit.
• Appetizers: The calamari, while flavorful, was slightly overcooked, and the accompanying zucchini could have been less charred. The Brussel sprouts, though cooked with care, lacked a bit of seasoning to bring out their full flavor.
• Atmosphere: While the ambiance was pleasant, the music and overall mood could use a bit more energy to enhance the dining experience.
• Main Dishes:
• The chicken piccata had a rich buttery flavor but leaned a little on the dry side.
• The pasta with cream sauce was satisfying and well-prepared, though it didn’t stand out as much as I had hoped.
• The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Osso Bucco. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it’s a dish worth returning for.

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Slay shows promise with its menu and presentation. A few tweaks to execution could elevate the experience even further.

Our family really enjoyed our dinner. We had a couple pizzas and veggie dishes. The roasted beets were a nice surprise star of the evening 😌

Staff were warm and accommodating. The gesture of moving all the chairs out of the way for my grandma’s walker was appreciated! 🙏🏼❤️

One thing to note is it’s a bit noisy inside. Tough for those with hearing aids! 😉

In town for a wedding and was looking for a nice pizza. Took the servers recommendation on a chef’s special spicy pizza and it was perfect. The flavor was delicious and the crust was insanely crispy. Just how I like it. Great vibes and amazing service.

Equal parts fantastic food and fantastic service. Will did a lovely job explaining the menu and specials, and we truly enjoyed every plate. The fig and prosciutto pizza was delicious, and the gluten free menu accommodations were equally tasty. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu. The general manager was charming and it’s obvious that chef really enjoys creating works of art on every plate.

Good vibes decent food, great service. The food was okay, not superb. The garlic bread was yummy but had barely any garlic taste to it and the salad portion was very small. The fettuccine was good though! Pretty platings.

Saturday dinner wasn’t too busy; we were able to be seated without a reservation for two. Our server was caring and nice.
