Second time at this location. First time just wife and I, This time with whole family. Another consistent, solid experience. From the moment we walked in the hostess to the Bartender to our server. Extremely friendly, professional and apparent that people really care. Excellent value also dollar for dollar. Staffing ratios are excellent especially in this day when most places are short handed or have reduced staff. We will be back.

Other than the very loud group next to our table, the experience was great. I made a last minute reservation, was 15 minutes late, and was still able to secure my table through text to indicate I was on my way. The food and drinks were great, especially the Brussels sprouts. I just wish they would reconsider how the Caesar salad is presented. And thanks to Joseph, our waiter.
