        We had a 7:15 reservation, but arrived about 45 minutes early. They got us right in. I have celiac and the waitstaff was very attentive and knowledgeable about what menu items were safe. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

        The service staff was very kind and helpful, but the service was very slow. It took nearly an hour before our food was ordered. Food is delicious!

        We came in with a group, and was served quickly. The small plates were perfect. Do not pass on the ribs and turkey necks. We had a wonderful time!
