    We had a family dinner of 8 on a Saturday night and everyone’s dinner was incredible. Our server was great. We have been coming to this restaurant for years through all of its changes and this might be the best ownership yet. The place looks great. The owner came to our table to make sure everything was right. Our waiter was local and reminisced with us. Highly recommend this restaurant on all levels but mainly because the food was just so good!
