Our hostess was Mikaela, who we confirmed the reservation with. The manager on duty that evening was Matthew & who is absolutely wonderful! Our waitress was Pam, and we loved and thought she deserves an A+ for her knowledge and her service. Our meals, appetizers and cocktails were all absolutely delicious. The one item that we all agreed on that could use an slight adjustment, are the rolls. They could’ve been warmer and just a pinch softer. Other than that, we look forward to our next visit 🥰 Thank you! Belinda Jones
