“ Andre our server made our day! What a kind human being. We will definitely be coming back because of his service. The food was great too. ”
“ Finding good dining options in Ferndale is never a problem, but of course you want to know that the place you visit has what you want to eat. I was in the mood for brunch, but for some reason my wife decided to eat here. I thought, OK, I'm sure the Italian food here will be great. But, we came here on Sunday afternoon, when they were still serving brunch. This proved to be great news for both of us. She got a Moscow Mule, like she always does, and I got a Bloody Mary, like I always do at brunch. They were delicious, but shockingly small considering how much we spent. The Bloody Mary cost $14, and her drink cost $16. Yikes. She ordered the American Beauty breakfast with buttery perfect scrambled eggs and incredibly flavorful potato wedges. I got the Crab & Shrimp Cakes Benedict, which was totally worth the $23. The shrimp were the tiny kind, but they meshed beautifully with the crab. We loved the Benedict so much that we told the server we wanted one to go. When we got home, I noticed that it was in fact the classic Eggs Benedict, not the one I wanted. I was still tasty, but it comes across as more of a fancy open face Egg McMuffin with hollandaise. Service was brisk. The server was attentive, and the food came out quickly. I hate to keep bringing price into the conversation, but the drinks made it an issue. Not counting the carry out, it was around $100 including the tip, which seems like a lot for brunch. Next time, we'll skip the drinks and just get coffee. ”
“ Andre was amazing and the food was great totally would recommend for a weekend dinner ”
“ Went on a Saturday so they are open early, but ONLY their brunch was available till 3 PM. So I had brunch menu. I sat at bar, Ryan was our bartender .. Grey Goose vodka martini with stuffed olives. Martini was good . Good service. ambience was very crowded. But plenty of seating ..People were enjoying a variety at a menu items from sandwiches too eggs also a giant mimosa glass with the nozzle that requires more than four people, you can have your own mimosa right at the table from the giant champagne glass very cute.. I really enjoyed the food. I ended up getting a portobello sandwich Panini I will be going back after looking at the dinner menu next time ”
“ Went here for dinner with two girlfriends last night and it was great! Let me start off with shouting out the star of the show, our server, Andre -- he has an infectious personality, made light conversation, made sure we we were taken care of on all fronts, managed to coordinate with my guests for a special slice of birthday cake with a sparkler and agreed to snap a few photos of us. He's a girl dad and in just this one interaction, you can tell he prides himself on his work ethic! 10/10! For drinks, got my usual New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc; the others got a glass of red wine and an espresso martini. For food, we did family style and got the garlic loaf with with the aglio + olio and ricotta + honey, italian chopped salad, pasta carbonara, wild mushroom cream pasta with housemade sausage added, and spicy pepperoni pizza. Overall, the food was great. My personal favorites were the italian chopped salad and the carbonara. I love a good pepperoni pizza and the make it spicy comes with fresh jalepenos -- glad to see the fresh jalps vs pickled but they were just kinda thrown on there and didnt really stick to the pizza. My biggest gripe is that all the food came out insanely fast -- like less than 5m from ordering, all our dishes were out. I would've like a more leisurely pace of the dishes. Regardless, a good experience all around. Andre made the night. Will be back at some point for sure! ”
“ Fantastic dinner! Our waiter, Andre did a phenomenal job handling our large party. Excellent service and excellent food. ”
“ Valencia was attentive and personable. She made the experience even more enjoyable! Highly recommend the whipped ricotta and honey spread for the garlic loaf. ”
“ Pops is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the area hands down. Very nice ambiance and beautiful bar in the center of the restaurant. Conveniently located with great parking. The staff is always amazing and the food is great. I'm going to sing the praises of all the dishes I like, but I have to start with the not so good first. Never order the Shrimp Scampi, bland and not good. Ok done lol. Fritto Misto (Calamari), Garlic Loaves, Classic Caesar Salad, Wild Mushroom Cream Pasta with Shrimp, and Lobster Ravioli all AMAZING. ”
“ I have no complaints. I had an excellent male server, I wish I caught his name, shame on me. They had a happy hour from 4-6 with drinks and a few food options. I must say their salads are bomb, and we were able to get the chopped and Cesar at happy hour price. My husband got chicken parm and it was made just how chicken parm should be, chef kiss on that. My waiter even treated us to a free birthday dessert which was a pleasant surprise. The place is huge, with outdoor seating. Parking in the back that u must pay for. I would come back for the salad alone! Cheers! ”
