Our group of 6 (women ages 42-78 years old) really enjoyed our first experience here. We were seated quickly, which included accommodations for a wheel chair. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We were happy the music wasn’t loud… we could hear it, but could hear each other clearly with a normal speaking tone. We will return!!
