Our service was excellent with Sarah for Thanksgiving. The food was so delicious. The only complaint is the front of the house. We had a table reserved for 4:00 and waited more than an hour to be seated. Otherwise it was so good!

The food was tasty and served well. The service was appreciated. However, the parking validation was not complete. We had a bad experience when we exited the parking facility because the validation did not work. It was very frustrating. Every other experience was very well done.

The food was incredible. The 3 way mezze option was delicious. But the star of the show was the ribeye & chicken skewers. Both were super tender and juicy. I can not wait to go back again. Kuddos to the chef and her family’s recipe.
