We were very happy we came here! We don't normally bring our 10yo daughter to nicer places but the experience was fantastic. Sam is such a kind person and we are always taken care of with them. We were in a time crunch to go see a performance close by and the team made us ready to go right on time. Food is always spectacular, atmosphere is lovely.
