    We ended up ordering from the happy hour menu and the food was outstanding! We tend to be picky eaters, and the flavors were amazing. My husband ordered the burger and I ordered the pork quesadilla. The burger was cooked perfectly and the sauces on the quesadilla were delicious. Our server Toby, was very helpful with menu questions and she was so friendly! I want to go back to try other dishes on the menu. Run, don’t walk! Your taste buds will thank you!
