    Our appetizer came out after our main dishes, which kinda defeats the purpose of the appetizer, otherwise had a good experience

    I enjoy the seasonal menu offerings and the St Patrick’s Day is my favorite- so happy to see it has returned. Tonight I enjoyed the Shepherds Pie.

    Went for the Valentine’s pre-fixe menu and they ran out of some of the food and our reservation was at 7:15…. Our appetizers took forever and then our entrees came out right after and mine was cold. Would not recommend.

    Four of us in our group. We sat outside and enjoyed the patio. I will say the music was a little loud and was hard to hear our conversations. Food was great and so was the service.

    Servers reaching over food placed in front of patrons which is disgusting. No telling what is falling off of the servers hands, not to mention hair. Reaching over one’s food is DISRESPECTFUL!
