The food was fresh and delicious. The inside dining room was cute, however it was cold from the draft from the door. Although there’s not much they can do about that- it is January! Service was just okay!

From the moment you walk in and are greeted with a smile, like walking into a friends home, then seated and immediately approached by your server (with a smile) you know you are in for a special dinner. This was my 6th time with friends (who have never been) and were impressed by the choices on the menu. YES! our dinners were delicious and went home with another meal for the next day....ENJOY!!
