We went to celebrate a double family birthday and had an outstanding experience. The food was top notch, generous portions, service was excellent and Chris even entertained us with his comedy show. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our experience. On top of that, they made a very generous donation to the Make A Wish Foundation. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The staff was so on point and welcoming. The ambience in the restaurant was ideal for a first date; despite the other side of the establishment hosting two parties, we were completely isolated from the noise! Service was at the perfect pace and the food came out cooked to order. Absolutely recommend!
