Our go-to spot for a Friday or Saturday night out! The menu has fantastic choices, and everything we’ve tried—from apps to entrées to desserts—has been amazing. The staff is always friendly, and the indoor and outdoor seating make for a great dining experience. Highly recommend!

The new chicken recipe is an excellent preparation for a good winter meal; the duo of pork from a previous visit was also prepared outstandingly.

Haven’t dined here in a couple years, but was pleasantly impressed that the service, ambience and quality has remained high. Our original reservation was for 2 people on Christmas Eve, but we asked to add another person early that morning. They were very accommodating. We will be back soon! Oh, and happy they are still a BYOB restaurant!
