    Due the Valentine’s Day the crew were dealing with too much workload. The food was amazing but the speed for getting the plates to the table a little bit delayed and confused.

    Although the weather was cold and we reserved the balcony seating, we were provided blankets. The waitress, Delilah, was very cordial and friendly. The food, wine, drinks, and Valentine’s Day ambience was wonderful. The Rose and heart candle made it that much more romantic! Thank you!
