With great memories of meals at the Madison location a group of friends enjoyed a delicious dining experience again. Our server Dana was wonderful!! Patient, friendly and especially helpful answering our questions and making perfect suggestions. The burrata appetizer was a great start. The entire wait staff was very attentive anticipating all our needs. Our entrees included pork chops, filet mignon and filet mignon with crab cake. The full garlic bulb and bread dip was delicious. The white sangria a perfect accompaniment, too! Will make sure to leave room for dessert next visit....which will be soon👍

Always good to come and visit this restaurant for a great quick food and drinks with a friend. Their Mexican sampler was really enjoyable and reasonable. I have had their Margarita here and it was just done perfectly to my taste. Their baby back ribs were fall off the bone. One of my favorite restaurants. Hillary was pleasant and attentive.
