    We had an amazing dining experience, thanks to our incredible server, Dan. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent recommendations and ensured that our drinks were always full without being intrusive. Dan’s warm personality and professionalism truly elevated our meal, making us feel valued and well taken care of. The food was fantastic, but his service was the highlight of our evening. We will definitely be back and will be asking for Dan again! Highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you get the chance to have Dan as your server!

    This restaurant is a must every time we come into town. The staff is welcoming and let you pace your meal; no rushing unless you need to leave. The food is delicious and the specials imaginative. The views are amazing, especially at sunset.
