This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the ambience, to the food, to the staff…10/10. The igloos add such a different, festive, cozy vibe. The food was fresh and so delicious. I went with a friend and I cannot wait to go back with my family. Our waitress Rebecca was the friendliest and loveliest server. The owner Lauren came in to check on us and chatted with us a bit. She truly cares about the customers experience and is so passionate about running her restaurant right. Cannot wait to go back!!

Truly amazing as we fully enjoyed our entire meal together. We loved the mussel dish we chose and added calamari to it as well as a side of Brussel sprouts. Then we ended the meal with delicious beignets. Service was excellent as we had a knowledgeable waitress. Look forward to returning soon and highly recommend.

We had an excellent, personable server, delicious food and a lovely, quiet table (as I had requested). We were not rushed to order or finish up, which we really appreciated, as we were dining with friends we had not seen in quite a while.
