Amazing menu and cocktails. The scallops are amazing and one of the best duck dishes I have had… beautiful presentation. Excellent staff friendly attentive and warm atmosphere. My favorite is to see dogs with their owners stop at the front door eager to receive a goodie..

This is a great restaurant in so many ways! The service was so kind, gracious and efficient. The food was hot, tasty and executed beautifully. The atmosphere is awesome and loud in a good way, like the diners are having fun.
