We love Izzy and are so grateful any chance we get to sit in his section or have a drink at the bar. The carrot cake dessert was next level!

The food and service were amazing our waitress Heidi was incredible. Management came around several times to make sure we didn’t need anything. It was very crowded so the noise level was pretty high, but that’s OK.

Food was great even with an extremely limited menu- the restaurant accommodated special requests - service was okay - we where sat by an extremely loud table which was unpleasant and we were a larger party. Other patrons that were sat there moved immediately because of the behavior of the table
