Everything was great. Sarah - our server was beyond excellent. And the recommendation for the drink - Cabin was perfect. Two things: Home Potatoes were limp and not crispy Tiramisu was dry. Rest, everything was good.

We had a reservation and still had to wait about 10 minutes even after receiving the text my table was ready. Our drinks took about 20 minutes to get to us. We were done with appetizers when the drinks arrived. Food was mediocre at best and server never once checked in.
