    I had 3 friends fly in to visit. I had already had my reservations so I decided to keep them since we were eating outside. We had Chelsea a wonderful warm professional waitress. Staff made sure we were following all the guidelines set by government of no more than 10 gathering. All patrins we’re away from others and it was a truly wonderful relaxing evening. And in regard to the meals, always superb!

    Bad ning appetizer was to die for. Veal marsala was fantastic. Husband's pork chop was cooked to perfection. Toya was our most pleasant and efficient server. Nothing but the best all around here.
