We had a really great time. Food and service were both very good. The restaurant called ahead to confirm reservation and discuss seating bc there was a band playing on the patio. It was thoughtful to ask if we’d prefer to still dine outside and gauge how close we wanted to be to the band. Would recommend and would return!
