    First I would like to say the restaurant experience there was amazing. I meet Ms. Jane in the restroom who is one of the owners and she was super sweet. The food was amazing the customer service was over the top. I loved the hot towels before your food arrives and my waiter was amazing. Her accent made the visit so much more pleasant. Ms. Jane and the gentleman with her I can’t recall his name but they bought us desert to the table and it was the bomb. This is a little hidden gem restaurant for me because I hear about it but never go. Oh my apple martini was made with love. The smashed potato’s was whipped and full of butter, the spinach was seasoned so good didn’t even need no salt or pepper. We all had the 16oz ribeye that was worth every penny. The cutest thing is the fact they had a 3oz filet mignon for kids that was the perfect size for kids who eat steak. I can’t say enough how pleased we were after leaving. Oh one more thing the chicken strips was fried to perfection and so good. A adult can eat on them and get super full. Definitely 10/10 recommend!!!!If you have not been there I am telling you RUUNNNN!!!

    The food was impeccable. Delicious. Creative. Artisan. These folks are good at what they do! The service was also top-notch! We had atleast 5 different people interact with us. Our main server, the hostess, a couple of others that refilled drinks and brought food to the table. We never had to ask for anything because we were offered to before we had a chance. They anticipated our requests. One oddity was that we had asked for about 3 slices of pizza to be packaged up to take home. The server took the pizza with the intention to do it and we never saw it again. However, we were stuffed by the time we left and didn't even realize it until we were at the car. So we just left it. We reasoned it was probably gone anyway. We didn't want to give the server a hard time by going back inside to demand 3 leftover slices of pizza. They all did such a great job even with this mishap. No harm. No foul.
