    It was a perfect setting for a night out. The food was great. The service was outstanding. The noise level was just right for you to hear everything you needed. Not much you can say bad about the place if anything at all. Maybe it was the fact that the seating was small, but it was comfy. The place doesn't seat many people, so you will have a great couples experience.

    We absolutely loved the food and service. I had been looking forward to trying this place and it was everything I thought. The only down was when we first came in I gave our reservation name to the girl with long black hair and she was snippy. I kept telling her our last name and she showed her our confirmation and that our friends were already Sat and she was somewhat abrasive and combative instead of helpful. Another girl came up thankfully and walked us over to them.
