    As soon we got there, we got the table but the server was slow to get the menu for us. We asked for the refills for water but they never come back. But other than that everything was good.

    This was an Amazing experience!! It started snowing today - didn’t know for sure how much would stick. It turned out to be 4 inches. ;) We had a reservation and were the only guests. They stayed open for us and were so gracious! No one hurried us, in fact they took time to chat about several things. Even though they were closing as soon as we left! The food was very delicious - all the things we ordered. We live 2 blocks away and will share this with many people for exceptional service and food! 💞
