Food was unbelievably delicious! Service was fantastic. Just the right amount of attentiveness. Also saw the server notice a wobbly table and they moved the couple to another table before the couple asked to be moved. Great job!

There was a private party taking place that we were unaware of. The noise level was off the charts because there were live musicians. My party & those around me had to yell to hear each other. If you’re going to hold a private party here are a few suggestions: First: close the restaurant for that private party Second: if you must have the other part of the restaurant open. Have the LAST seating at 7:00. So when the private party gets loud & festive, and the music starts the other guests are on their way out. Finally, make the guests who are NOT part of the private party know that it is taking place. I will NEVER go to this restaurant again because of that. I felt we were NOT valued at all.
