We had a big party. 12. Including two older guests with walkers. Staff was very accommodating and appropriately attentive. We had a nice long table on the inside “patio.” Almost felt like a prive room. But more spacious. When a few guests mentioned feeling a bit cold, the turned on the heaters. Perfect. Thanks,James! Food very good. Wide selection of options. Everyone happy with their choices. Thanks for making our family dinner so special. 😊❤️

We went out for an impromptu date night and enjoyed a flight of wine each, butternut squash soup, and a couple of small plates over happy hour. Everything tasted great and never took long to receive. The service is always fantastic; our server, Say, was particularly good and appropriately attentive. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, even with a large party present - large parties are placed in the event space so you’re not impacted by any noise.

My steak was undercooked the first go-round. The waiter was quick to fire up a new one for me. It took a while for it to come but that's only because all food is made to order fresh. Once it came it was one of the most flavorful steaks I've ever had. This place is a must-try!
