We were seated immediately. The table they sat us at was great and very comfortable. The food was excellent but the real star was our server Mandy. She went the extra mile to make our anniversary dinner special and memorable. It was a great experience.

The food, as always, was really great and they had gluten free and vegetarian options for those in our party needing it. This visit, our server did not return to our table to check on us until we were almost done eating and we needed water, drink refills, and condiments. Also for happy hour, you have to ask what they offer and they don't share a menu or offer up the deals even if you order the eligible items.
