Hi! My coworker and I went to celebrate an early birthday and we had such a good time! 10/10 experience, the food was great and just want to shout out our server Ms. Bryanna because she really went above and beyond for us! Refilled our waters before we even noticed we needed more, gave great recommendations on the food, and surprised us with a some birthday truffles and a candle. Thanks Coopers! Will recommend to friends and family :)
