Everything was outstanding, except for our waiter. He was not attentive to our table, impersonal and had no idea of who ordered what. The restaurant was either short staffed or our waiter just didn’t do a very good job.

Very welcoming. Attentive service and despite the portion size the food was tasty . The circuses with a few of the dishes such as the fettuccine Alfredo and the charcuterie board were fresh renditions. Our server Deanna was good up until the restaurant became busier and John the host checked with us several times. The chef also came out of the kitchen to greet patrons, Nice touch Great eatery
