First time here. No expectations, other than the positive reviews. Cozy family atmosphere. Prompt greeting @ front door. We were 30min early for our dinner reservation and planned to take advantage of the advertised happy hour. I was VERY disappointed no wine discounts offered during happy hour. I was told the happy hour is all vodka drinks. I don’t drink vodka so I had water. Bartender was our waitstaff. Her support staff was very attentive. She however did not check on us once our meals were served. I wanted a glass of wine with my meal. One of our party had to get up and ask for more water, our glasses were empty and a glass of wine for me. Our food was delicious. Very nicely prepared and fresh. Dessert was divine. We will return.
