    First visit for us, we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service was excellent!!! Our server was very professional and took time to ask us questions as well as offer great recommendations making us feel really comfortable right away, I hate that I was so wrapped up in the moment I didn’t remember his name. But not only him multiple staff members greeted us asked about our experience and just in general spoke kind words to us and one of the hosts even took time to take great pictures of us at the front of the house as well were leaving. She was very patient and kind to us and is was really appreciated! Bravo to the establishment, the staff all seemed like they worked in harmony and made Valentines a very busy day for restaurants seem like a breeze! I will definitely be returning gladly!!! I hope these kind words find their way to the staff because they deserve it and more!!! Best regards, Demitrius Finley

    I’m a returning customer so that is a big deal for me. The service,food and atmosphere were all very positive again . The only issue was when the patio heater nearest my table was turned off . My table was not against the restaurant brink exterior but up against the tented wall in the patio section. We were not asked about our temperature comfort level when the patio heater near our table was turned off; It was a very cold night and our feet ended up being cold. Other than that it was pretty great! The fresh “free bread “ all the appetizers and all three meals were delicious! So go!
