   Outstanding service. Food was delicious. Extra care was taken to make sure my meal was prepared according to allergies. We were celebrating a special occasion, and were surprised with a delicious dessert after our meal. Very nice atmosphere. We can’t wait to go back!

   Our waiter Jacoby was amazing. He did an awesome job getting us whatever we needed. I know he was being trained by someone, but she was a bit rude and we preferred Jacoby coming to our table himself as he was very personable and gave us some recommendations for what to do while down visiting Texas. Would definitely come back but hopefully he is done training by then so we do not need the other waitress.

   The food, decor and our waiter was very good. My issue was with the hostess, she clearly saw we were with my elderly husband (81) who walks with a cane. She directed us to the stairs to be seated upstairs. We, of course, said there was no way he was able to navigate the stairs. We noticed three tables downstairs which were empty, we asked for one of those and were told they were reserved (we too had a reservation, we weren't walk ins). Her lack of empathy for the elderly was appalling. She needs basic kindness and understanding and I hope she gets the training to reflect this.

   The food was great! Tasted amazing! So was our server Sam. He was extremely attentive and kind. Our bad experience was with the hosts. They were extremely rude. They were taking their stress out on the customers. As we were waiting to be seating my wife thought she heard our name went up to the desk and asked what was the name they had called and the hosts response was “Ma’am, you’re going to have to wait your turn”. Extremely unpleasant. We wanted to leave after that, but we weren’t sure if we would lose the deposit.
