Our waiter, Jacob, was outstanding! He gave us great recommendations from the menu, was extremely attentive, and even surprised us with a wonderful dessert to help us celebrate our baby moon. The food was outstanding, great ambiance, and probably one of the best servers we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!
