    I brought my family here to celebrate a birthday and it was fantastic. The staff is friendly and our server, Ayana was friendly, fast and thoroughly explained the menu and answered all of our questions. The food was fresh, well seasoned and hot. We ordered the skillet cornbread, halibut, redfish, short rib and lamb pasta. Everyone at the table raved about their dishes. I had the lamb and it was slightly too salty for my liking but otherwise very good. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant and suggest making reservations since the venue is small.
