    My friend & I were in from out of town and found this place on Open Table. What a treasure !! Great service !! Great food!! Superb drinks !! We got in early and the place filled up as the evening progressed. We did not feel rushed m. It was “order 2 get 1” night when we went. Definitely would come back if ever in town!!
