Our waiter was very kind and attended to all of our needs! I believe his name was Michael? I’m not the best with names, but he mentioned that his daughter was in college. Thank you for the great service!!! I will be coming back soon.

Always a great date night at this place! Yummy cocktails! Delicious dinner…sometimes we go for the Filet, which is delicious…but sometimes we just order a few appetizers and split the wedge salad! If you’re a fan of brussel sprouts you have to try the crispy Brussel sprouts!!! Either way…always a great meal! Service has always been excellent! And well priced for what you get!
