    Got there early to our reservations. The sweet host said not a problem and that she is sorry to make us wait a little. Even though she shouldn't be sorry, we were the ones who arrived early :) but very kind (wish I got her name). We got a glass of wine played with our dog (YES they allow dogs ) around the yard outside. It was a nice time before our dinner experience. Angel was our server. He was very good and so kind and pleasant. Thank you for all your great suggestions Angel ! Food, service, atmosphere was all a 10/10! We will be back PS. Get the Brussels sprouts BOMB

    Our experience at the restaurant was a bit disappointing. While the service was friendly, the food didn't meet expectations. We ordered calamari, pesto pasta, and prime steak, but the pasta arrived cold, and we had to ask for it to be reheated. Although we were told the kitchen was running behind, we still expected better timing and food quality. The prices were also on the high side for what we received. Additionally, the decor felt outdated and could really use a revamp. We are thankful for the cheesecake we received for our Anniversary. Overall, it wasn't the experience we had hoped for.

    We were looking forward to a great dinner. It was a party of 6. They sat us outside. We had to ask twice for the heater to be turned on. The service was not what I expected. Thank you.
