Our server, Matt, was absolutely outstanding and really made our date night special. The food was excellent and well-priced. It was noisy due to (I think) a corporate event, but that didn't stop my partner and I from having an excellent night. Matt, you are truly one of a kind and we will be back to see you soon!
