    We went today to celebrate mine and my girlfriend birthday! Ambiance and service was great! We ordered three appetizers to share. The portions were good and food fresh but not outstanding and a little pricey which is not a problem but I think for the price point it should be just a notch above. But I would definitely go back and try and entree!

We always strive to deliver an experience that matches expectations, and if anything ever feels off, we encourage guests to let us know in the moment so we can make it right.

    Fantastic libations were just the beginning. The Cajun Eggrolls are amazing, the meatballs were awesome, and this was great spot to add to the getaway trip.

    Sly Fox drink didn’t disappoint. You can always get a great burger at FT. Even the house Chardonnay was a big thumbs up. Our waiter made us feel welcome & unrushed.
