    Unfortunately The experience wasn’t the greatest From the server behaving as if she had better things to do and the food not being up to par and I’m brought up to their attention. There was a weird substance on my meal, and my vegetables were wilted, and it was just a very underwhelming experience and I’m truly disappointed especially with it being my first visit and I truly was excited for the outcome and left frustrated

    Seating was prompt on a busy Saturday. Service was friendly and attentive. Drinks were great and appetizers came quickly. Food was delicious with just the right amount of spice. Only ding is that I’m not a fan of high top tables. We’ll definitely put this place in the rotation.

    We had a lovely dinner before the DSO. The seared salmon was excellent and our server was swift, polite, friendly. My only complaint was the noise level seated near the bar area made it difficult to talk.

    I have never been disappointed. Every time I bring someone new they become a fan. That is how it was with me my first time.
