We had a girls lunch today. The patio was lovely and we all enjoyed the food and wine. We had salmon tacos, Cobb salad and BBQ flatbreads. Everything was excellent. The whiskey Bundt cake for dessert was delicious too. Jane was our server. She provided outstanding service and was very accommodating with separate checks. We will definitely return.

Always love coming to this location. After the renovation it’s even more beautiful. I was worried the menu/food would be different. I’m happy to say it was just as good as always. Service was great too.
