Everything about this restaurant is wonderful. Every staff member is friendly and welcoming. We went for my birthday and multiple staff members wished me a happy birthday and made the day special! The food is phenomenal, the mocktail I got was the best I’ve ever had; I truly can’t say more wonderful things about this place!

We were a party of 7 — our server did a fantastic job of dealing with a large group. The food was wonderful and we were happily surprised with the 50 percent discount on bottles of wine on Tuesdays. We’re looking forward to our next get together here!
