Great location for a special occasion or even just a regular meal. Service was outstanding and the food exceeding expectations. The Cauliflower steak is absolutely amazing! The Crabcakes are outstanding as well. The location is ideal. We booked our group as two separate parties - teens at one table and adults at the other. When the hostess realized this, she asked if we would like to be seated near each other and then made it happen. This was greatly appreciated!
