    First class signing and service experience with Alaina. I don’t know how they do it, but even when the restaurant gets really busy the acoustics are so good that it feels like we are the only two people in the restaurant.

    Fantastic meal every time. Steaks cooked perfectly. Many dishes with unique flavors. Never a bad meal. Service is exceptional. Went for a birthday and they provided a complimentary dessert which included some delicious cookies. Served brought us extra cookies to take home for our children. Looking forward to going back.

    Thanksgiving buffet was outstanding. All the food was delicious. Loved the variety and that they had boneless slices of both white meat and dark meat turkey. Fish, chicken, and shrimp were also available. A real feast. The staff was also extremely friendly and efficient. Glad I decided to come there instead of doing all that cooking, food prep, and cleanup at home.
