    First time there. Food, service and ambiance was 10/10. Absolutely delicious. We will most definitely be coming back very soon to try other yummy things we saw on the menu but didn’t get this time.

    We sat outside and it was lovely. We went very early and we were surprised by how many people were there. Food was wonderful and our server Bryce was so warm and friendly.

    This was our first time there and really didn’t know what to expect. The server introduced himself and when we asked questions he answered them. The place was noisy. The food arrived just when we needed it. The appetizer, salads and entrees were simply delicious - the bread was outstanding. Dessert was excellent. Thanks and definitely will be back!!

    We arrived early and was greeted by the hostess. We checked in then proceeded to the bar. We had a drink and an app while we waited for our table. Bar staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Our table was ready in time the only downside was the table was in a back room area not the main area which was not good. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu. Our food came up promptly and was very good. I don’t know how they can make the back area nicer but I would be specific next time when I book not to be seated in that area. Overall the experience was a very positive one and I will definitely be back !
