    We had a wonderful evening, staring with the greeting by manager Robert. He made us feel very welcome, wished us happy anniversary, and even brought over complimentary champagne! The great service didn’t stop there. Our server, Kayla, was kind, friendly, and attentive. The food was delicious (don’t miss the deviled eggs!), and it was overall a fantastic way to celebrate 18 years of marriage.

    "I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The potato-leek soup was amazing and the Bibb lettuce salad was refreshing. The table was split on the monkfish – one person thought it was great, but another felt that the tastes didn't quite mesh. Everyone loved the flat iron steak. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable."
