Had dinner here last night and it was a great experience overall! The ambiance was perfect—moody with low lighting, and nothing felt too busy or chaotic, which was nice for a Friday night. The service was good, a bit slow at times when we needed something, but still very attentive and friendly. And the food? Bomb! Though, to be honest, I think their breakfast takes the win over dinner, haha. Still, a great spot I’d definitely recommend!

Visited for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was delicious but service felt rushed. Noise level was a bit loud and the ambiance for a holiday special menu event felt lacking.
