Great first visit to Haywire. Pretty quiet lunch crowd on this post-holiday Friday. We were warmly greeted and seated, got good recommendations and service from Kevin, and even a scrumptious looking bread pudding on the house to celebrate the birthday girl. Nice upscale ranch vibe interiors with valet or free garage parking. Will be back to try more menu items.

This was our fourth time to dine at Credence and we were again amazed and awed! I have tried a different entree every time and they are all delicious. Service is impeccable. Restaurant is beautiful. Love the complimentary valet service - this is my "go to" place. Their menu has such a nice variety that everyone can find at least one (some of us MANY) things to try!
