Love the holiday decor! Server was beyond friendly. Service was awesome, except forgot my second drink. I didn’t bring it up because she was so nice and we weren’t in any rush. My tacos were tasty, but salad was a bit soggy. The holiday mocktails were excellent. My only suggestion is less ice because you barely get anything in the glass to actually drink. Overall, happy and will be back again. Merry Christmas!

Had a good meal and visit with a friend tonight. The young woman who served us was very friendly, informative and attentive without being overbearing. We tried the burger and the Atlantic cod, both of which were great.
