    This food is always delicious. Just wish the portions were a little bit bigger so I didn’t leave hungry after spending a few hundred. 😋

    The food was phenomenal! The outdoor vibe was great! But, what really made our experience exceptional was our waitress, Savannah! She was knowledgeable, personable, and went the extra mile to recommend things she thought we would love! 10/10, will be back!

    Service and food are excellent, but It is noisy and our table was right across from the kitchen. Felt like we were sitting in the hallway. Very uncomfortable for a dinner for two
