    The food was phenomenal! The outdoor vibe was great! But, what really made our experience exceptional was our waitress, Savannah! She was knowledgeable, personable, and went the extra mile to recommend things she thought we would love! 10/10, will be back!

    Service and food are excellent, but It is noisy and our table was right across from the kitchen. Felt like we were sitting in the hallway. Very uncomfortable for a dinner for two

    the quality of the food and service was extraordinary. we sat outside on the nice patio, which added to the experience. Really appreciated the server's knowledge of the menu. All the people involved in our service were very helpful and also very excited about the food they were serving. The excitement was justified. Special experience

    Dining in the garden is great. Dining inside is too noisy.
