Our first time at the restaurant, definitely won't be our last. We had 4 guests and each ordered different things from the menu. Food was very good overall. The service was extra extra good. A few different stops at our table to make sure the food was good and did we need anything else. Prices are a bit high but we will still be back!!

We went to this location for Valentine's day. The dine in area was closed for reservations. They decorated for valentine's and even adorned each table with a lit tea candle. Service was amazing! Hot crispy fries and sliders right off the griddle🤤 Thank you so much for a great valentine's experience!
