We had a great time bowling and then had lunch. The food was great! Even better was our server, Ari. He was very attentive and helpful with accommodating our children. One of the best servers we have ever had.

Each year at Christmas, we gather for a special family dinner that has become a cherished tradition. This time, when we arrived, we noticed that our friend Marvelous wasn’t working. After texting her, Marvelous made the incredible gesture of driving 45 minutes just to join us and celebrate together. There are many places we could eat, but none offer the experience we share here—it’s not just about the good food, but the meaningful relationships that make it unforgettable.

Amazing food and outstanding service. Staff were very friendly and professional and provided great recommendations. Red snapper crudo and gnocchi were excellent! Drinks were great as well. Had an old fashioned and house made eggnog. Atmosphere was enjoyable and noise level was minimal so was easy to hold conversation. Definitely a place to check out if you haven’t been!!
