This was a great experience for my wife and daughter for Mother’s Day. The ambience and setting for this was truly amazing! Food was good-next time just do a better job of keeping the food warm. Service was so so. 2 servers for about 8-10 tables outside. Live music was truly on point. A sax and guitar vocalist that were great. A great time. Will be back.
