    Great food and service. Only complaint was that I called to see if we could make a reservation for 7 instead of 6. Was told no even though the dining room was empty. Only table was our table for 6 ( which could have held 8) and another table of 6. We went to celebrate a birthday and had to omit some family bc 7 couldn’t be accommodated, even after we called to specifically ask. We will be back it was just frustrating that everyone didn’t come bc we were told no room.

    Hostess took initiative to give us option to eat inside due to chilly weather. Aaron, our server was attentive but not intrusive. Wine was very good and food was delicious and fairly priced. Beautiful venue.
