    This place ALWAYS exceeds my expectations in food, ambiance, and service! Once I met the manager, Jennifer, I understood why. From the personal welcome, to her attention to detail, she makes you feel like you've walked into an establishment that appreciates it's patrons . I'm new to California and the area so it meant so much to receive such a pleasant experience. She is the reason that I now visit this location at least twice a week. Any meeting or visitor coming into town, this is where I take them first!! I can ALWAYS count on Jennifer and her team to provide excellent service. BIG THANKS to Jennifer for your genuine, accommodating spirit and for passing that down to your staff. I was there last night and will be back later this week! If you haven't experienced this place, RUN, don't walk. You won't regret it! TEN STARS!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    In the past, the restaurant inside was quite noisy. Now that they have added the outdoor patio section, I found the inside of the restaurant to be much less noisy and more enjoyable. Our server was great and the food was timely and tasty. Will definitely return!
