    Our overall experience would be a 7 out of 10 first being the seating we were seated in I would say the smallest table in the restaurant next being the food was ok nothing spectacular and drinks were nice I would have to say our server was amazing the food runners need a little more training on proper service but my overall experience is just that 7 out of 10 would i recommend yes for tourist locals no.

    First visit to restaurant and first impression was not good because we felt rushed to order all courses and told if we decided to change dessert choice later in the dinner there would be $2 charge. So only one at table made the quick pick, our other 2 passed on dessert simply because they didn’t like they were ready to select. Not a good start to the dining experience. Food was good otherwise.

    We’re traveling for a conference and saw this place was nearby - did not disappoint. The escargot was so good. Absolutely loved my Louisiana Cioppino and the bread pudding flavors and texture was spot on. Would definitely recommend.

    The dining room is too bright. Waffle House bright. Asked to have lights dimmed. Was told no. Ambiance 1 star because of lighting.
