Fabulous meal. It was our first time there and we will for sure be back. If you can, request Liam as your server. He’s funny, super knowledgeable, and we were never without drinks. He was the perfect mix of - there when we needed him but not overbearing. 10/10 experience!

Honestly our favorite place to go. The food never fails, it’s the one place that we know whatever we order even our picky toddler loves to eat. The service never fails, our server Brandon made sure we were well taken care of and if our son wasn’t having it he made sure his food came out right away.
