We had a party of 6 adults with 6 different entrees and they were all excellent. The host, when seating us, was kind enough to move our table to the back of the restaurant where it was much quieter and more conducive to conversation. Our server, Ethan C., did an excellent job of attending to our every need. The other staff assisting him were also very professional and helpful.

Food was so tasty - we had the calamari, ribs and chicken Louisiana. Everything was so reasonably priced including $12-13 cocktails and $8+ glasses of wine. Our server was very attentive
