    Everything was excellent. Food was delicious. Server was super friendly and on top of things. My daughter and I shared a pork chop and my husband had the trout special, both dishes were cooked to perfection. We found the bottle prices on wine to be very fair. Definitely returning.

    Always delicious and the service by Chris was great . One big negative was the noise level . It was uncomfortably loud and I highly recommend sound proofing the restaurant for a more enjoyable atmosphere
