This was our first time at the Lakewood location. My wife and I have been to the location in Addison before but the Lakewood store was exceptional. We were seated before our reservation time which was nice. Our server Whitney did a great job, our food was delicious, and my cocktail was on point. Highly recommend this Lakewood staple!
