We had the Valentine’s Day set menu and the food was amazing, great quality. Staff were really nice. Only negative is that they tried to squish too many people into the restaurant and service was slightly slower than normal.

It was a beautiful dinner and the outstanding service made it all the better. It was a really perfect night, we sat outside and I wouldn’t have known the difference whether we were inside or not. They were so accommodating when I asked for a few extra things for my kids, great place and we will be back.
