Absolutely amazing experience! If you haven’t eaten here I 100% recommend you do so! The food alone was outstanding, by far some of the best dishes I’ve tasted in a while! And if that doesn’t do it for you the service on top of such is just remarkable! Absolutely outstanding job put on by those incredible people!

Consistently superb! Generous portions, excellent quality, fantastic service (ask for Allen, he's the best!) Delighted the fried chicken is going to be a regular on the menu.

Our server, Alan, was outstanding! He is professional, knowledgeable but also fun! We had fries as an appetizer. They were fresh and hot, some of the best I’ve ever had. We chose the pappardelle pasta for our entree, which was great. Specialty cocktails were really enjoyable. The star of the show was the Bananas Foster table side. Alan has perfected the art. The flavors of caramel, banana and ice cream were truly complemented with a special popcorn sprinkled on top. The restaurant staff are very personable, assuring that you’re enjoying your experience.
