The food here is absolutely amazing. We had to wait a while to be seated, but we were served a appetizer that was on the house. The service that we were given here was also amazing. They checked in on us until we got the table, and they were very kind. It wasn’t too loud, it was like any regular noise level in a restaurant. Overall, it was amazing there. 100% recommend.

This was amazing! My boyfriend and I drove an hour out to check this place out because the reviews seemed pleased. I was very happy with the service, the ambiance was gorgeous, and the food was so yummy! Even hearing it up the next day it still tasted just as good! We ordered a pepperoni pizza and chicken Alfredo and they were delicious! Thanks so much for making this night fun!
